Publix is recalling one of its Greenwise-brand baby food products because it could be contaminated with elevated levels of lead, the grocery store chain said last week.
The recall includes 4-ounce pouches of the pear, kiwi, spinach and pea flavor with a "best by" date of Nov. 1, 2025.
The baby food pouches were sold in all eight states where Publix stores operate: Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky.

Consumers who have purchased the product in question may return the product to their local store for a full refund.
