Gerber says some of its Arrowroot Biscuits could contain soft plastic or paper pieces.

The company has traced the contamination to an arrowroot flour supplier that they are no longer working with. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, but Gerber is pulling the product as a precaution.

Recalled biscuits can be returned to the retailer where they were purchased for a full refund.
