The company states that the recall is a direct result of “an internal packaging defect that may result in the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic in the finished product.” The affected pouches were sold between March 6 and July 13 nationwide at Kroger, Meijer, and Target retail stores.
Identifying codes are stamped on the back of the pouches in black and include the barcode: 8 15367 01078 0. Additionally, they can be identified by the number “4” printed on the rear right-hand side seam and feature best-before dates of January 19, 2027, January 20, 2027, March 17, 2027, March 18, 2027, May 14, 2027, or May 15, 2027.

“PT Organics Limited initiated this voluntary recall after its packaging supplier last week recalled a production run of defective pouches,” notes the recall. “PT Organics’ inspections of finished product made with the recalled packaging confirmed the presence of a strand of a soft, food-grade plastic attached to the inside of a small number of pouches.”
Consumers are urged to dispose of the affected product immediately or returned to the place of purchase. Questions and concerns can be directed to Pumpkin Tree’s website, or via the company’s consumer support desk at 888-566-2363, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
