According to one food safety advocate:
“There is probably no product in America that’s under more scrutiny than baby food. Because the last thing you want to do is poison a baby or have something like this happen.”
The recall affects 4-oz. glass jars containing Stage 2 Beech-Nut CLASSICS sweet potato & chicken that were produced on Dec. 12, 2014.
The containers have:
- December 2016 expiration date
- Establishment number P-68-A

The company says consumers can return a recalled product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or exchange. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Glass fragments in the baby food could cause infants to suffer lacerations to the mouth and lips, or could cause internal injuries or choking if swallowed.
