Popular Applesauce Brand Has Issued A Recall After Parents Began Finding Mold In The Product

Applesauce brand GoGo squeeZ might be a bad apple.

The applesauce maker is typically known among parents as a healthy option compared to other brands. They use limited preservatives and offer organic options.

According to the company, the products are made from “100% real fruit” and are free of “common allergens, including milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish.”

“Our products are crafted with high-quality, natural ingredients to provide wholesome goodness for squeezing, and enjoying wherever life takes you,” according to the company’s website.

However, a nasty ingredient has found its way into the little pouches: mold:

Parents on Facebook are outraged by what they have been finding in the pouches, often AFTER their kids already consume the product:

Parents are discovering these products contaminated despite the fact that they are well within their expiration dates:

According to the GoGo squeeZ site, the recall only impacts non-organic products and therefore does not include GoGo squeeZ Organic products or GoGo squeeZ YogurtZ.

They are saying the issue was caused by food residue on production equipment. In a press release, the company said the following:

The food product residue was noted during a routine inspection by the Michigan State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), which revealed its presence in two product pumps at the Traverse City, Michigan production facility. It is possible the food product residue may have been incorporated into finished product.

 After issuing a recall, the company appears to have it sorted out to some extent, but it would probably be best to stay away from it for a while.
