A voluntary recall has been issued for three lots of baby cereal made for Walmart.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, samples from Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal tested above the guidance for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic.
Test results for both the raw and finished products of the baby cereal were in compliance with the FDA’s guideline, but Maple Island Inc. is issuing this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.
This product was distributed nationally through Walmart’s stores and online. Walmart has pulled the product from its store shelves and put a register block on the product at its stores and online to prevent any further sales.
The specific Parent’s Choice Rice Baby Cereal 8 oz lots being recalled were sold after April 5, 2021, and include:
Lot 21083 with UPC Code #00681131082907 with a best if used by date of JUN 24 2022.
