Beech nut recall baby food
What You Need To Know
Overview
Two disturbing Congressional baby food safety reports were released in February and September 2021, revealing that many of the most popular brands of baby foods were selling products that were tainted with dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals.
Among the brand names mentioned were Gerber and Beech-Nut, well known for their baby and toddler food items.
The results of these reports are concerning because even low levels of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium can be detrimental to babies and growing toddlers.
Exposure to these heavy metals can cause permanent damage to your child’s brain development. It may lead to IQ decrease and behavioral issues. (1)(2)
New parents, and even unsuspecting seasoned parents, have enough worries on their plates regarding their children’s well-being to have to also think about issues of food contamination such as these.
In light of these findings, it’s becoming increasingly harder to trust big-name brands and the quality of their products.
Lawmakers and parents alike are now putting pressure on the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) to introduce stricter testing policies for companies such as Beech-Nut.
One of the main changes being pressed is to require baby food manufacturers to test the finished products for heavy metals rather than testing individual components before formulations are made.
In January 2023, the FDA announced that they’re planning on putting limits on the lead content in baby food. They’re also creating a new department to focus on food safety.

Which Baby Food Brands Are Toxic?
In a detailed Congressional Report on toxic products released last February 2021, the US Congress Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy asked the following baby food manufacturers for the test results of products reported to have high levels of toxic heavy metals: (3)
- Beech-Nut Nutrition Company (Beech-Nut)
- Nurture, Inc. (HappyBABY and HappyTOT)
- Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (Earth’s Best Organic)
- Gerber
- Campbell’s Plum Organics
- Walmart Inc. (Parent’s Choice)
- Sprout Foods, Inc. (Sprout Organic Foods)
Of these seven baby food companies, only Beech-Nut, Gerber, Nurture, and Hain submitted test results and internal testing policies to the Subcommittee. The rest refused to cooperate. (3)
Despite complying with the Subcommittee’s request, the four companies remained under fire. Their test results showed heavy metal levels in their ingredients and baby food products were several times the FDA’s maximum allowable levels. (3)
Instead of meeting FDA’s standards, the baby food manufacturers created their own internal standards with increased limits that make it appear as if their products passed. In reality, their results are several times higher than the FDA standards. (3)
Beech-Nut In Subcommittee Congressional Report On Toxic Baby Foods
Is Beech-Nut Baby Food Safe?
According to the first Congressional Report, Beech-Nut declared that all its raw materials passed internal standards. But the company set very high internal maximum levels, so the ingredients actually failed government regulations. (3)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- 300+ ppb in additives (used in different products)
- 913.4 ppb in raw materials
Mercury:
- The company doesn’t test products or ingredients for mercury.
Lead:
- Up to 886.9 ppb (raw materials)
Cadmium:
- Up to 344.55 ppb (raw materials)
Second Congressional Report
In September 2021, the Subcommittee submitted a follow-up report. It announced that the state of Alaska independently tested Beech-Nut baby food products and still found dangerously high levels of inorganic arsenic. (4)
Despite Alaska’s test results, the second Congressional baby food report revealed that Beech-Nut failed to notify the public or pull all those affected products from the market. (4)
Beech-Nut Rice Cereal (product codes 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX; expiration date of May 1, 2022) were recalled on June 8, 2021. (8)
But to date, no further Beech-Nut recalls have been announced, despite at least four other products also having high levels of arsenic. (4)
Does Beech-Nut Have Heavy Metals?
The FDA sets the maximum limits in ppb (parts per billion) for infant rice cereal to 100 ppb inorganic arsenic, but the Beech-Nut rice cereals have more than this limit.
Three samples associated with the two recalled products tested by Alaska had the following inorganic arsenic levels: (4)
- Product code 103470XXXX: 125 ppb
- Product code 093470XXXX, sample 1: 122 ppb
- Product code 093470XXXX, sample 2: 116 ppb
Aside from these samples from recalled products, Alaska reported four Beech-Nut rice cereal product codes that also tested over the FDA’s arsenic limits: (4)
- 013470XXXX
- 013351XXXX
- 243470XXXX
- 113470XXXX
Notably, there were two different samples for 243470XXXX from the same lot. Both showed high levels of inorganic arsenic. The Congressional Report stated that these results are proof that Beech-Nut should have issued a recall on this product code, too. (4)
Other Companies In Congressional Report On Toxic Baby Foods
The following companies were also listed on the Congressional reports: (3)(4)
Gerber Products Company
The company submitted test results for raw materials only, acknowledging that it doesn’t test finished products for heavy metal content. (3)
Mercury:
- No test for mercury.
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 90 ppb (rice flour)
Lead:
- Up to 48 ppb (sweet potatoes)
Cadmium:
- Over 5 ppb in 75% of raw ingredients (carrots)
- Up to 87 ppb (some carrot batches)
- No test for cadmium in other raw materials or ingredients.
Nurture, Inc. (HappyBABY And Happy Family Organics)
Nurture regularly tests both ingredients and finished products for heavy metals, unlike the other baby food manufacturers in the Congressional Report.
But despite knowing that their finished products had high levels of heavy metals, Nurture continued to release them without any corrections. The company admitted that the heavy metal test results aren’t the basis for product release. (3)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 100 ppb (over 25% of Nurture finished baby products)
- Up to 160 (Strawberry & Beet Puffs)
- Up to 160 (Banana & Pumpkin Puffs)
- Up to 180 ppb (Apple & Broccoli Puffs)
Mercury:
- Up to 9.8 ppb (Banana Sweet Potato)
- Up to 10 ppb (Brown Rice Cereal Canister)
Lead:
- Up to 10 ppb (Nurture vegetables and rice products)
- Up to 560 ppb (Multi-Grain Cereal Canister)
- Up to 641 ppb (Blueberry Purple Carrot)
Cadmium:
- Up to 5 ppb (65% of Nurture products)
- Up to 36 ppb (Strawberry Raspberry)
- Up to 49 ppb (Multi-Grain Cereal Canister)
Hain Celestial Group, Inc.
(Earth’s Best Organic)Hain admitted that it doesn’t test for actual heavy metal content but only makes “theoretical calculations” from ingredient results. (3)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 309 ppb (ingredients)
- Up to 129 ppb (finished products)
Mercury:
- No test for mercury.
Lead:
- Up to 352 ppb (raw materials)
Cadmium:
- Up to 260 ppb (ingredients)
Campbell Soup Company (Plum Organics)
The company refused to provide the Subcommittee with their actual test results or internal standards, insisting that their finished products “meet criteria.” (3)
But data from Healthy Babies Bright Futures showed the following results for Just Sweet Potato Organic Baby Food: (5)
Mercury:
- Less than 0. 142 ppb
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 3.1 ppb
Lead:
- Up to 5.6 ppb
Cadmium:
- Up to 2.3 ppb
Walmart Inc. (Parent’s Choice)
Walmart also refused to submit results or internal standards to the Subcommittee. These are data from the Healthy Babies Bright Futures report: (5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 108 ppb (Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks)
- Up to 56.1 ppb (Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack)
Mercury:
- Up to 2.05 ppb (Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks)
- Up to 0.941 ppb (Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack)
Lead:
- Up to 26.9 ppb (Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks)
- Up to 5. 2 ppb (Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack)
Cadmium:
- Up to 26.1 ppb (Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack)
- Up to 2.4 ppb (Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks)
Sprout Foods, Inc. (Sprout Organic Foods)
The company never responded to the Congressional Subcommittee. So, these results for Organic Quinoa Puffs Baby Cereal Snack – Apple Kale also come from the Healthy Babies Bright Futures report: (5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 107 ppb
Mercury:
- Up to 1.31 ppb
Lead:
- Up to 39.3 ppb
Cadmium:
- Up to 41.5 ppb
Reducing Heavy Metals in Baby Food Products
Heavy metals could greatly affect the body and brain development of young children. So, Consumer Reports, the US PIRG (Public Interest Research Group), and other concerned groups call for the approval of the Baby Food Safety Act of 2021. (6)
It will require baby food manufacturers to test and disclose their results to parents and regulators. It will also direct the FDA to create and implement stricter heavy metal limits for baby foods. (6)
In response to public outcry, the FDA announced its action plan called “Closer to Zero.” It aims to reduce toxic elements from foods of babies and young children by lowering the allowable limits. (7)
If implemented, this could lower the limit to 15 ppb for infant cereal and 10 ppb in other baby foods, as proposed by the Baby Food Safety Act. (4)
If that happens, then Beech-Nut will need to pull more products off the shelves. Because even the rice cereal samples (product code 193470XXXX; arsenic level 52.2 ppb) with the lowest inorganic arsenic content have at least three times the allowable limit. (4)
What Are The Healthiest Baby Food Brands?
The following may be healthier alternatives to the unsafe products in the report:
- Serenity Kids
- Yumi (subscription-based)
- Little Spoon (subscription-based)
- Once Upon A Farm
Preparing Healthier Alternatives At Home
You can also prepare fresh, organic baby foods at home using appliances you already have in your kitchen. Products like a Baby Brezza Small Baby Food Maker Set – Cooker and Blender can also help.
But a blender or simple food processor will also do the trick. No need to buy any new gadgets.
You can prepare healthy, fresh baby food at home using:
- Whole or puréed vegetables and fruits
- Raw yogurt or coconut yogurt
- Quality meats, poultry, or fish
- Bone broth
- Healthy fats such as ghee, olive oil, or coconut oil
- Quinoa
- Eggs
- Oats
Although sweet potatoes and carrots can also have high lead and cadmium levels, they are also important sources of vitamin A and other nutrients. Include these in your child’s diet in moderate amounts. (5)
It’s also best to avoid using rice and rice flour because they might have high cadmium, lead, and arsenic levels. (5)
Was There A Recall On Baby Food In 2021?
Despite the Subcommittee report showing that several products had high levels of heavy metals, Beech-Nut only issued this cereal recall:
Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice Cereal
- Date Recalled: June 8, 2021
- Company Name: Beech-Nut
- Reasons For Recall: High arsenic levels
- Affected Products: UPC Code# 52200034705; Product codes 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX; Expiration date of 01MAY2022 (8)
- Return or Refund Processing: www. beechnut.com/ricecereal or 1-866-272-9417
Statement from Jason Jacobs, Beech-Nut‘s vice president for food safety and quality: (9)
“The safety of infants and children is Beech-Nut’s top priority. We are issuing this voluntary recall because we learned through routine sampling by the State of Alaska that a limited quantity of Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice Cereal products had levels of naturally-occurring inorganic arsenic above the FDA guidance level, even though the rice flour used to produce these products tested below the FDA guidance level for inorganic arsenic.”
Baby Food Recall (News & Updates)
Lawsuit Filed Against Baby Food Companies
Update: March 10, 2023
A lawsuit was filed in Southern California against the baby food companies mentioned in the Congressional report over their possible links with autism and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). (10)
Experts invited by Attorney Pedram Esfandiary’s group explained to a judge that the heavy metals in these tainted foods can interact with the brain, resulting in these conditions. (10)
FDA Proposes New Food Safety Unit
Update: February 2, 2023
The FDA announces the plan to create the Human Foods Program, which is a new food safety unit that will focus on nutrition and ensuring the safety of the US food supply. (11)
The deputy commissioner for this new unit will have clear decision-making authority and will be tasked to improve US nutrition to address chronic diseases potentially caused by poor nutrition, explains FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf. (11)
FDA Proposes New Limits On Lead In Baby Foods
The FDA also proposes lead level limits for baby food: (12)(13)
- Lower than 10 ppb (parts per billion) in most vegetables and fruits, yogurts, custards and puddings, meat, and mixed meals (e. g., grain and meat-based mixtures)
- Maximum of 20 ppb in dry baby cereals and root crops (e.g., beets, sweet potatoes, and carrots) that grow underground and can absorb more lead from the soil
The FDA estimates that these new limits can reduce young kids’ dietary lead exposure by 24-27%.
However, baby food safety advocates (e.g., Consumer Reports and Healthy Babies Bright Futures) push for lower lead limits and for the FDA to include limits on the other heavy metals also found in baby food, including mercury and cadmium. (12)(13)

Product Description
Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal
Company Announcement
Beech-Nut Nutrition today has issued a voluntary recall of one lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal. This recall is a result of a routine sampling program by the State of Alaska which found that samples from that production lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal tested above the guidance level for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic set by the FDA in August 2020, though the rice flour used had been tested and confirmed as being below the FDA guidance level for inorganic arsenic.
FDA has recognized that trace elements such as these are widely present in the environment, including water, soil and food; and has also stated that exposure to elevated levels of naturally occurring inorganic arsenic can pose a health hazard to young children.
The specific Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice item (UPC Code# 52200034705) being recalled has an expiration date of 01MAY2022 and product codes: 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX. The expiration date and product numbers can be found at the bottom of the Beech-Nut Single Rice Cereal canister. These specific product codes were distributed nationally through retail and online.
In addition to issuing the voluntary recall, Beech-Nut has also decided to exit the market for Beech-Nut branded Single Grain Rice Cereal. Beech-Nut is concerned about the ability to consistently obtain rice flour well-below the FDA guidance level and Beech-Nut specifications for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic.
"The safety of infants and children is Beech-Nut's top priority. We are issuing this voluntary recall, because we learned through routine sampling by the State of Alaska that a limited quantity of Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice Cereal products had levels of naturally-occurring inorganic arsenic above the FDA guidance level, even though the rice flour used to produce these products tested below the FDA guidance level for inorganic arsenic," said Jason Jacobs, Vice President, Food Safety and Quality.
No illnesses related to these product codes have been reported to date, and no other production dates or Beech-Nut products are affected by this recall.
Consumers who may have purchased Beech-Nut Rice Cereal with product codes: 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX with expiration of 01MAY2022 should discard the product. They can also go to www.beechnut.com/ricecereal, or call 1-866-272-9417, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for further information on obtaining an exchange or refund.

Beech nuts - properties, benefits, contraindications
02/05/2016
How to counter the ubiquitous products "enriched" with preservatives, thickeners or artificial colors? Take a walk for provisions ... into the forest.
Among the many gifts from the forest, one can also find beech nuts, which are perfectly acceptable for use in the kitchen. They are an interesting addition to cakes, desserts, salads, and also act as the main component of a fragrant tincture.
- Are beech nuts edible?
- Health benefits of beech nuts

Are beech nuts edible?
The common beech is a very common tree in European forests. It begins to bloom only after reaching 60-80 years of age. Every 5-8 years, the beech abundantly “produces” thorny fruits, which fall to the ground from September to November, releasing nuts hidden inside - a favorite delicacy of wild boars, roe deer, deer, squirrels and many species of birds.
Beech nuts, slightly reminiscent of hazelnuts or walnuts, have been enjoyed by people for many centuries. They were enjoyed by the ancient Greeks. The ancient inhabitants of Scandinavia baked bread from ground beech nuts mixed with flour. The French steamed them and made a drink that served as an alternative to black coffee. In Germany, beech seed oil is still very popular, which is added with pleasure to various dishes. Once margarine was obtained from them, which replaced the more expensive and difficult to produce butter. The nuts of the American beech - a "relative" of the common beech - were also highly valued by the Indians. They ate them fresh and dried, cooked with various vegetables and fruits.
What are the benefits of beech fruit?
People who have ever eaten beech nuts pay special attention to their oiliness. This is hardly surprising, since fruits can contain up to 50% of various fatty substances. First of all, these are unsaturated fatty acids, which easily combine with cholesterol, provoking a decrease in its concentration in the blood, and also increase the body's resistance.
Beechnuts are a rich source of proteins, carbohydrates, trace elements (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium) and B vitamins, which are responsible for the efficiency of the nervous system, give energy, regulate metabolic processes, take care of heart health, skin and hair condition.
In beech fruits, you can also find many organic acids (in particular, coumaric, vanilla, ferulic, malic and citric), as well as saponins, which accelerate the digestion of fats, have anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and diuretic effects.
How can beech nuts be harmful?
The forest delicacy also supplies the body with many substances that are much less beneficial to health. First of all, it is oxalic acid. Its excess weakens teeth and bones, favors the formation of kidney stones, especially in people who have problems with the urinary system.
The second, to put it mildly, not the most useful substance is fagin, an alkaloid that is poisonous in large quantities and causes hallucinations. Also "on his conscience" may be headaches, vomiting, nausea, convulsions and a decrease in body temperature. So beech nuts should be eaten in moderation.
