Relevant updates and actions for families, retailers, and caregivers are provided below to help you verify eligibility, determine safety steps, and obtain refunds.
What is recalled

Why this recall was issued
The recall is tied to a choking hazard that has affected several toddlers (ages 1.5 to 2.5 years). In reports described to the FDA, chewing the bars can form a dry, sticky mass that may not be dislodged by standard choking interventions such as back blows or the Heimlich maneuver. Some incidents required emergency response and hospital observation. The FDA advisory also states the firm has agreed to initiate a recall. The company press release describes this as a voluntary recall and reformulation, and states that no other Once Upon a Farm products are impacted.
Geography and distribution
The advisory notes a nationwide distribution online and in retail locations, with a spread that includes major retailers. The company press release lists 45 states and Puerto Rico as affected. The FDA indicates that the recall encompasses online sales nationwide and retail distribution at stores such as Costco, Target, and Walmart, with possible distribution through Amazon or other third-party vendors. For precise scope, consult the official notices linked below.
