Once Upon A Farm Recalls All Lots and Varieties of Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars Due to Potential Choking Hazard

Reported by FDA Recalls · October 31 at 12:59 AM · Summary by Dew & Balm

Once Upon a Farm of Berkeley, California, is recalling all lots and varieties of its fruit-flavored Tractor Wheel Organic Toddler Soft-Baked bars. The company says the snack can turn into a dense, dry, sticky mass in the mouth, creating a choking risk for toddlers aged about 1.5 to 2.5. Three consumer choking complaints prompted the recall, and no injuries have been reported so far. The bars were sold nationwide, including Puerto Rico, online and in stores.

Background

Food recalls are usually sorted by risk class, and a choking hazard in a young-child product is typically treated as a serious safety issue. When a recall covers all lots, the company is pulling every batch still in distribution, including products already on shelves past their date. Firms generally must notify the FDA and give clear instructions on returns and refunds.

Why it matters

Toddler snacks are bought by parents who read labels closely, and this recall covers every lot and expired package that may still be at home.

What you can do

Check the package for the Tractor Wheel name, and do not open or give any bars from the recalled products. Return them to the store of purchase for a full refund, or contact [email protected] or 1-888-983-1606 with questions.
