Gerber Recalls Arrowroot Baby Biscuits Over Possible Plastic, Paper Pieces
Gerber has announced a nationwide recall of some arrowroot biscuits made for babies after finding they may contain small pieces of soft plastic or paper, federal regulators said.
The recall affects specific batches of 5.5-ounce Gerber Arrowroot Biscuits with “Best Before” dates ranging from Oct. 16, 2026, through Dec. 16, 2026, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Parents and caregivers are urged to check the 10-digit batch code printed on the back of the package.
So far, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, Gerber said.
The issue was traced back to an arrowroot flour supplier, which first flagged the problem and launched its own recall. Gerber said it has stopped working with that supplier.
Families are advised not to feed the recalled biscuits to children and to return them to the store for a refund.
"The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our highest priority, and we take this responsibility seriously," Gerber said. "We sincerely apologize for any concerns or inconvenience this action causes for parents, caregivers and retail customers."
No other Gerber products are affected by this recall, the FDA said.
