Why it matters
Hard or sharp fragments in food can injure the mouth, throat, or gastrointestinal tract, making this recall especially important for families with little ones. Tru Fru and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration emphasize that even a small piece could cause serious harm, so taking a moment to check your pantry is worth it for peace of mind.
Even though snacks like these are meant to be fun treats, this recall is a reminder for parents to stay alert and double-check packaged foods—even trusted favorites—before letting little ones dig in.
