Publix issued the voluntary recall on May 9, but it wasn&#8217;t added to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/safety\/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts\/publix-voluntarily-recalls-greenwise-pear-kiwi-spinach-pea-baby-food-pouches-due-lead\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">recall list<\/a> until late Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>The potential contamination was flagged by officials in North Carolina, the state that first identified a 2023 <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/recalled-applesauce-pouches-cinnamon-lead-poisoning-cases-states-cdc\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">lead poisoning outbreak<\/a><\/span> linked to tainted applesauce pouches that sickened more than 500 U.S. children. <\/p>\n<p>Routine sampling of the baby food pouches found lead levels at 13.4 parts per billion, according to North Carolina agriculture officials. That exceeds the FDA&#8217;s <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fda-draft-guidelines-lead-baby-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">recommended limit of 10 parts per billion<\/a><\/span> for such products intended for babies and young children. <\/p>\n<p>Publix said all the potentially contaminated products have been removed from store shelves. No illnesses have been reported, the company said. Customers can return the pouches to local stores for full refund. <\/p>\n<p>This is the second baby food pouch recall because of potential lead contamination in two months. In March, Target <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/target-baby-food-fruselva-recall\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">recalled more than 25,000 packages<\/a><\/span> of its store brand Good &amp; Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale &amp; Thyme Vegetable Puree because of elevated lead levels.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina collaborates with the FDA to conduct routine testing of food products, officials said. <\/p>\n<p>In 2023, state health officials investigated reports of lead poisoning in four children who consumed WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree. Those findings led to the detection of a nationwide outbreak linked to the pouches, which were widely sold in Dollar Tree and other stores. Tests showed they contained lead at levels 2,000 times higher than the FDA&#8217;s maximum recommended level, as well as chromium. <\/p>\n<p>Federal health officials eventually identified 566 cases of confirmed, probable or suspected cases of lead poisoning tied to the pouches in 44 states. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s childhood lead poisoning program investigated the applesauce outbreak and coordinated the state and federal response. However, the program was eliminated in April as <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-jr-hhs-layoffs-cdc-lead-poisoning\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">part of federal funding cuts<\/a><\/span> under the Trump administration. <\/p>\n<p>CDC officials didn&#8217;t say whether or how the agency would respond to a similar outbreak now. A spokesperson said the agency is aware of the Publix baby food recall but hasn&#8217;t been asked to assist with any investigation. <\/p>\n<p>There is <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/lead-baby-food-fda-limits\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">no safe level of lead exposure<\/a><\/span>, according to the CDC. While the heavy metal is toxic to people of all ages, it can be especially harmful to children, causing damage to the brain and nervous system and slow growth and development. <\/p>\n<p>Heavy metals like lead can get into food products from soil, air, water or industrial processes, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
