Gerber Products Company is initiating a voluntary recall of limited batches of Gerber® Arrowroot Biscuits out of an abundance of caution due to the potential presence of soft plastic and/or paper pieces that should not be consumed.
The issue originated with an arrowroot flour supplier that initiated a recall. Gerber stated it is no longer working with that supplier.
The recall applies to Gerber® Arrowroot Biscuits 5.5-ounce products produced between July 2025 and September 2025. In the United States, the recall is nationwide. No other Gerber® products are affected.
Impacted products can be identified by a 10-digit batch code located on the back of the package near the “best before” date. The affected batch codes and corresponding best-before dates are:
