"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. "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.
