The Food and Drug Administration is urging parents and caregivers not to feed WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches to children because they may contain high levels of lead, which can be particularly harmful to kids.

The puree pouches — regardless of their expiration date — are now the subject of a voluntary recall by WanaBana, which had sold them online and in person through retailers such as Sam's Club, Amazon and Dollar Tree.
