Around 25-thousand packages of baby food are being recalled because of possible lead contamination. The recall affects 4 oz. containers of Target’s Good and Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, and Kale and Thyme Vegetable Puree. The packages have a best-by date of December 7th and December 9th and include the lot number 4167 and the lot number 4169.
GERBER TEETHING STICKS
Gerber is issuing a second warning about the recall and discontinuation of all lots of GERBER® SOOTHE N CHEW® TEETHING STICKS (Strawberry Apple and Banana varieties in 3.2 oz and 1.58 oz packages) due to a choking hazard for babies and young children. The recalled product has been recently found still being sold online and still in some stores nationwide.
Gerber is urging consumers to NOT feed these to your children and return them (if you have purchased them) for a full refund. This recall was originally issued way back in January but the packages could still be circulating.

ALDI PORK CARNITAS
Aldi 16-oz. sleeved trays labeled “Pork Carnitas SEASONED & SEARED PORK WITH JUICES SLOW COOKED WITH CITRUS” with “USE BY” dates of “06/30/2025” or “07/01/2025” have been recalled due to potential contamination with metal fragments.
These packages have the establishment number “Est. 46049” inside the USDA inspection mark and were distributed to Aldi supermarkets across the nation. The fully cooked pork carnitas were produced on April 1st and 2nd, 2025. If you have any of the packages, return them to the store (and since it’s Aldi- you’ll get their Twice As Nice return policy!).
