The company, Beech-Nut Nutrition, is recalling its “Stage 2 Beech-Nut Classics sweet potato & chicken” baby food in 4-oz. glass jars. The baby food was made on Dec. 12, 2014, and the recall applies to food expiring December 2016\. The company learned of the problem when a customer reported a small piece of glass in their baby food, and the USDA notes that a consumer reported an oral injury from the product. “Outside of this single report, we have no indication that any other jar of our Classics Stage 2 Sweet Potato & Chicken is affected, but as a company of parents and families we are acting with an abundance of caution,” the company said in a [statement posted to its website](http://www.beechnut.com/recall/). “The quality and safety of our products is our number one priority. We know we have not met the expectations of parents who rely on Beech-Nut for quality nutrition for their babies and toddlers in this case, and for that we apologize.” People who have bought the affected product can return the baby food to the store they purchased it from for a refund or exchange. The recalled baby food contained the product numbers “12395750815” through “12395750821.” It also contains the inspection code “P-68A.” Customers can get more information on the [Beech-Nut Nutrition website](http://www.beechnut.com/recall/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3822561/baby-food-recall-glass/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3822561/baby-food-recall-glass/"},"headline":"Baby Food Recalled for Containing Glass","datePublished":"2015-04-15T15:21:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T06:24:43.192Z","description":"Beech-Nut Nutrition has recalled approximately 1,920 lb. of baby food","url":"https://time.com/3822561/baby-food-recall-glass/","keywords":["Diet & Nutrition","Food Safety","Recall"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexandra Sifferlin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexandra-sifferlin/"}],"articleSection":"Health","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/health/","name":"Health"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/dietnutrition/","name":"Diet & Nutrition"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3822561/baby-food-recall-glass/","name":"Baby Food Recalled for Containing Glass"}}]}] ```
