Limited batches of 5.5-ounce Gerber Arrowroot Biscuits produced between July and September 2025 and sold nationwide are being recalled after a supplier recalled flour that may contain soft plastic or paper pieces (Gerber)

An arrowroot flour supplier identified the issue and initiated its own recall, prompting Gerber to take the precautionary step of pulling affected batches from the market and ending its relationship with the supplier.

“The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our highest priority, and we take this responsibility seriously. We sincerely apologize for any concerns or inconvenience this action causes for parents, caregivers and retail customers,” Gerber said in a news release.

As of Monday, the company and health agencies have received no reports of injuries or illnesses linked to the recalled biscuits.

Parents and caregivers who find recalled products in their homes can either return the item to the retailer for a full refund or throw it in the trash.

Gerber also provided a 24/7 consumer support line at 1-800-4-GERBER (1-800-443-7237) for questions or help identifying impacted products.
