The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a nationwide recall of specific Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics banana and strawberry fruit puree pouches due to a packaging defect that risks introducing soft plastic strands into the product. PT Organics Limited initiated the product pull after its packaging supplier flagged a defect, prompting internal inspections that confirmed foreign plastic contamination in select 4-ounce packages distributed to major retailers including Kroger, Meijer, and Target between March 6 and July 13.
Affected Product Identification and Barcode Details
According to the FDA recall notice, the affected inventory is strictly limited to 4-ounce pouches of Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry fruit puree. The verified product details include the barcode 8 15367 01078 0, alongside designated lane numbers and best-before dates.
The recall covers units marked with the following specific best-before dates: January 19, 2027; January 20, 2027; March 17, 2027; March 18, 2027; May 14, 2027; and May 15, 2027. Shoppers should check the rear right-hand side seam of the packaging to locate the printed lane number 4, which corresponds with the compromised production runs identified by PT Organics Limited inspectors.

Federal health regulators advise consumers who purchased the impacted fruit puree pouches to discard them immediately or return the items to the original place of purchase for a refund.
