Sprout Organics Expands Recall of Sweet Potato, Apple & Spinach Baby Food Pouches Over Lead Risk

Four lot codes sold at Walgreens plus independent retailers in 28 states are being pulled after routine sampling flagged possible elevated lead.

Overview

  • The recall now covers 3.5‑ounce pouches with lot codes 4212, 4213, 4282, and 4310, carrying best‑by dates of Oct. 29, 2025; Oct. 30, 2025; Dec. 4, 2025; and Feb. 4, 2026.
  • No illnesses have been reported, and the FDA is posting and monitoring the voluntary, firm‑initiated recall.
  • Consumers should check the bottom back strip of pouches for the lot and best‑by codes and return affected items for a full refund.
  • The product was sold at Walgreens, on websites, and through independent retailers across 28 states, with no other large retail chains involved.
  • Health officials warn that even low‑level lead exposure can increase blood lead levels in children and prolonged exposure can impair learning and development.
