Once Upon a Farm is recalling all lots and varieties of its fruit-flavored Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked bars because the snacks can pose a choking hazard for toddlers.
The company, based in Berkeley, Calif., announced the recall on Oct. 30, 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published the company announcement on Nov. 2, 2026.

Once Upon a Farm said the bars can rapidly hydrate into a dense, dry and sticky mass when they contact saliva and during chewing. That can create a potential choking hazard for toddlers ages 1.5 to 2.5 years old, according to the company.
The Tractor Wheels were distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico, and reached consumers through online sales and retail stores. The recall covers all lot codes currently available in distribution, including expired products that may still be on consumers’ shelves. Applicable unexpired “Best If Used by” dates run from Oct. 30, 2026, to Aug. 26, 2027.
The company said the decision was based on three consumer complaints of choking that were reported to the FDA. No injuries have been reported to date. Once Upon a Farm said it is working with the FDA so affected products are removed as the company reformulates the bars and families have the information they need.
The recalled products are sold under the Once Upon a Farm brand. Strawberry, pumpkin and beet bars come in a five-count carton with a net weight of 3.35 ounces and a 10-count carton with a net weight of 6.7 ounces. Apple, sweet potato and spinach bars come in the same five-count and 10-count sizes. Banana, pumpkin and cauliflower bars are listed in a five-count carton weighing 3.35 ounces.
A 20-count variety pack contains 10 apple bars and 10 strawberry bars and has a net weight of 13.4 ounces. A 30-count variety pack contains 10 of each of the three flavors and has a net weight of 20.1 ounces. Online-only Organic Baby and Toddler Snack Sampler packs also contain five-count cartons of Tractor Wheels along with other baby and toddler snacks. Those include a nine-count sampler, a 12-count sampler and a 15-count Organic Ultimate Snack Sampler, each with three five-count cartons of Tractor Wheels in all three flavors.
