A voluntary recall was issued for select fruit pure pouches due to an internal packaging defect that could result in the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic in the product.
The affected pouches were sold through Kroger, Meijer and Target stores across the country between March 3, 2026, and July 13, 2026.

Food and Drug Administration officials stated in a recall letter that no injuries have been reported, adding that no other Pumpkin Tree branded products, best-before-dates, or flavors are impacted by the recall.
PT Organics Limited initiated the recall after its packaging supplier pulled a production run of defective pouches.
FDA officials explained in the letter that PT Organics’ examinations of the finished product made with the recalled packaging verified the presence of a "strand of a soft, food-grade plastic attached to the inside of a small number of pouches."
