PT Organics said in a statement last week it traced the issue to an internal packaging defect, that could cause thin strands of food-grade plastic from the lining of the pouch to end up in the product when squeezed.

The affected products, Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry 4 oz. (113 g) pouches, were sold exclusively at Kroger, Meijer, and Target stores nationwide between March 6 and July 13, 2026. The FDA recall announcement on Tuesday is urging customers to check their products against the barcode, lane number, and best-before-dates printed on the back of the pouch.

Lane number — identified by the number ‘4’ printed on the rear right-hand side seam Best-Before-Date (BBD) of 01/19/2027, 01/20/2027, 03/17/2027, 03/18/2027, 05/14/2027, or 05/15/2027. The recall applies only to the products and codes listed above. PT Organics urges customers with the recalled product to immediately dispose of it or return the product to the place of purchase.

No injuries have been reported at this time. Sophie Ziedalski is a general assignment intern for NBC News.
