| Gerber said it has received complaints of choking but no reports of injury. The company said a "limited quantity" of the cereals could contain lumps that do not dissolve in water or milk. The cereals were distributed nationwide and to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Food and Drug Administration compliance officer Sandra Williams said the agency was aware of the voluntary recall "and we concur." Gerber spokesman David Mortazavi said the company was recalling 306,760 packages of organic rice cereal and 167,724 packages of organic oatmeal cereal. All codes of the two products, sold in 8-ounce boxes, are being recalled. The organic rice cereal UPC code is 15000 12504 and the organic oatmeal cereal UPC code is 15000 12502. The baby food should be not be eaten, and customers can call the Gerber parents resource center at 800-443-7237 or 231-928-3000 to return the product and receive a full refund. |

I am very dismayed to be reading this report. This is the very first time that I have ever heard a Gerber product, being recalled. I guess Nestle is struggling to live up to the high standards that Gerber is well known for!

That's a good observation Geenie. I have some Gerber Cereal (open) that did not have the chance to check as yet. My son passed that stage already and he is not eating it. For me, Gerber was also synonymous of great baby products, the best in the Market. This proves that even the best of the best have flaws.
