Plum Organics is recalling pouch products in its "Baby Stage 2, Tots Mish Mash, and Kids lines after discovering a manufacturing defect that may cause some packages to swell and the product in some pouches to spoil.
The recalled products have "Best By" dates ranging from Aug. 5 to Dec. 8 of 2014.
"It's simply a matter of a sour taste," said Plum Organics spokesperson Kara Flynn. "It may be unpalatable if someone was to consume it, but consumers would simply experience some temp gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea and diarrhea, it's not a food safety issue."
Out of an abundance of caution, Plum Organics is voluntarily recalling all pouches with affected codes.
