Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels Toddler Bars Recalled: Choking Risk

Once Upon a Farm is recalling all lots and varieties of its Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars because the snack can turn into a dense, sticky mass in a child’s mouth and cause choking. The FDA posted the company’s announcement on November 2, 2026. If you have any of these bars at home, do not open or serve them.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers every lot code of the fruit-flavored Tractor Wheels bars still in distribution, including expired boxes that may be sitting in pantries. Unexpired Best If Used by dates run from 10/30/2026 to 8/26/2027, according to the company.

• Strawberry, Pumpkin & Beet: 5 count (3.35 oz, UPC 81000351261) and 10 count (6.7 oz, UPC 810003512932)

Three online-only sampler packs also contain Tractor Wheels, each with three 5 count cartons covering all three flavors:

• Organic Baby & Toddler Snack Sampler, 9 count: Case 10810003513670
• Organic Baby & Toddler Snack Sampler, 12 count: Case 10810003513694
• Organic Ultimate Snack Sampler, 15 count: Case 10810003513687

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The company says the bar’s makeup can rapidly absorb saliva and become dense, dry and sticky while a child chews. That texture can create a choking hazard for toddlers aged 1.5 to 2.5 years.

Three consumer complaints about choking were reported to the FDA and prompted the decision. No injuries have been reported so far, the company says.

Who Is Affected?

Anyone who bought Tractor Wheels, particularly parents and caregivers of toddlers in the age range above. The bars went out nationwide, including Puerto Rico, through online sales and retail stores.

The notice does not say how many units were sold, and it does not name specific retailers.
