If you have Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels, here is the short answer: the company says it is recalling three flavors of its soft-baked bars because of a potential choking hazard for toddlers ages 1.5 to 2.5. If you have one of the recalled bars, do not open the package or use the contents; return it to where you bought it for a full refund, or email care@uponafarm.com.
Below is what the company says, what is still unclear, and how to get your money back.
Why are Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels being recalled?
Once Upon a Farm says in its Once Upon a Farm recall release that it is voluntarily recalling its Tractor Wheels soft-baked bars due to a potential choking hazard for toddlers ages 1.5 to 2.5. The decision was based on three consumer complaints. The company says it acted “out of an abundance of caution.” As of November 2026, the release says the company is working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to make sure affected products are removed and families have the information they need.
The recalled flavors are these three:
| Tractor Wheels flavor (as named in the release) | In this recall |
|---|---|
| Apple, Sweet Potato, & Spinach Tractor Wheels | Yes |
| Strawberry, Pumpkin, & Beet Tractor Wheels | Yes |
| Banana, Pumpkin & Cauliflower Tractor Wheels | Yes |
The release says the bars were distributed nationwide, through the internet, distribution centers and retail stores in the states and Puerto Rico it lists, a list that runs from Alabama to Wisconsin. The company also says that “No other Once Upon a Farm products are impacted by this recall.”
Are Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels good?
The company describes Tractor Wheels as soft-baked bars. It says its products are organic, non-GMO, contain no added sugar and are free from artificial flavors and colors. It adds that the products are “Not a low calorie food.” These are the company's own claims.
Right now the most important fact is the recall. If you have one of the three flavors above, stop using it and follow the refund steps below. If you are choosing snacks for a toddler, the age range the company names is the part to weigh first.
When can babies eat Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels?
The Business Wire release does not give a starting age for babies. It names toddlers ages 1.5 to 2.5 as the group at risk of choking. Email care@uponafarm.com to ask what age the company recommends, and ask your child's pediatrician before you offer any of these bars to a baby or toddler.
Where can I buy Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels, and do Costco, Walmart or Target sell them?
The Business Wire release does not name Costco, Walmart or Target, or any other store. It says the bars were sold through the internet, to distribution centers and to retail stores in the listed states. Right now the useful question is not where to buy but what to do with a bag you already have. To find out where yours came from, check your receipt or order confirmation. If you want to know which stores carried these flavors, email care@uponafarm.com.
What is the difference between Tractor Wheels and smart wheels?
The Business Wire release does not mention smart wheels. It names only the three Tractor Wheels flavors in the table above, and the company says no other Once Upon a Farm products are impacted. If the name on your package is different, match its flavor against the table, and email care@uponafarm.com if you are not sure.
Are Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels soft, and are they nut free?
The company calls them soft-baked bars, so that is the word it uses for their texture. The release does not say whether the bars are nut free. Check the allergen information on the package, or email care@uponafarm.com, before you serve them to a child with a nut allergy.
How do I get a refund for recalled Tractor Wheels?
The release gives two steps for people who already bought these bars.
| Step | What the release says |
|---|---|
| 1. Do not open the bar | “should not open the package or use the contents” |
| 2. Return it or ask for help | Return the product to the location of purchase for a full refund, or contact care@uponafarm.com |
The release describes the refund as full. The Business Wire release does not state a refund deadline, so ask care@uponafarm.com about timing when you write.
What is still unclear about this recall?
- The release is datelined October 31, 2026, while Yahoo Finance, which carries the same release, shows October 30, 2026.
- The headline also mentions a reformulation of the Tractor Wheels. The release does not describe what changed.
- The release does not describe the three consumer complaints.
- The release does not give a starting age for babies or a list of stores.
Where can I check official recall notices myself?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posts its consumer product recalls at cpsc.gov. Its CPSC recall notice for pressure washers shows how one of its notices is laid out, though that recall covers an unrelated product.
Should I keep emergency supplies at home too?
A recall is a reminder to look at what is in your home. The Lone Star College preparedness checklist lists water and a nonperishable or easy open canned snack, a small first aid kit, a flashlight with extra batteries, and cash in its emergency kit. The CDC emergency water guidance says, as of November 2026, to store at least 1 gallon of water per person, per day for 3 days, and that unopened, commercially bottled water is the safest and most reliable source of water in an emergency.
What to do next
- Match the flavor name on your package against the three recalled flavors above.
- If a bar is recalled, do not open it or use the contents, and return it for a full refund or email care@uponafarm.com.
- Email care@uponafarm.com for the starting age and nut information before you serve any Tractor Wheels to a child.
- Talk with your child's doctor about snacks for a toddler.
