Agency Publication Date: April 14, 2015

Summary

Beech-Nut Nutrition is recalling approximately 1,920 pounds of Stage 2 Beech-Nut CLASSICS sweet potato & chicken baby food because the jars may contain small pieces of glass.

The recalled jars were produced on December 12, 2014, and can be identified by specific product numbers and an expiration date of December 2016.
