Beech-Nut Recalls Baby Food That May Contain Bits of Glass

Beech-Nut is voluntarily recalling thousands of jars of baby food it says could have bits of glass inside, after a customer reported a mouth injury from the food, federal regulators say.

The baby-food giant is recalling 4-ounce jars of sweet potato and chicken baby food produced in December, after a customer found a piece of glass in one jar and contacted the company.

About 1,920 pounds of the baby food are being recalled, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Wednesday. They were shipped to stores nationwide.

The recalled jars have a December 2016 expiration date, bear the establishment number "P-68A" inside the USDA mark of inspection and include product numbers 12395750815 through 12395750821.

The FSIS has not received any other reports of injury or illness from the product. Jars with different production dates as well as other varieties of Beech-Nut products are not affected by the recall. 

The company encourages customers to return the jars to the store they purchased them from for a full-refund or exchange.

"The quality and safety of our products is our number one priority. We know that our high quality expectations were not met in this situation, and we apologize to our loyal consumers,” president of Beech-Nut Jeff Boutelle said in a statement.

Customers with additional questions about the recall can call the Beech-Nut Consumer Hotline at (866) 674-444.
