LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Kentucky grocer voluntarily pulled certain baby foods from its store shelves in light of twin boys who fell ill after a quarter was found in their food.

A Meijer store in Louisville pulled dozens of jars of Gerber meat baby foods after the Clark family said it found the quarter during the middle of feeding their 10-month-old sons. Kevin Clark said a spoon hit a metallic object inside the jar, and his boys were rushed to a hospital later in the day Tuesday.

Thursday, the health department inspected the store's baby food, and Meijer managers pulled some of it, Louisville television station WLKY reported exclusively.

"We're going to go ahead and pull all of the meat-flavored Gerbers," Meijer director Stephen Driggs said. "It was the turkey that was in question."

The jars were taken from the shelves in a move called "purely cautionary," according to Driggs.

"We'll pull the product off the shelf until we hear from (health officials) that (the baby food) was definitely not involved," he said.

The babies were recovering Wednesday, WLKY reported.

"(One of the boys) was just ghost white," Clark said. "He's just very active and he was just half out of it. He was laying there, and you could shake him and he'd just look at you and he'd just drift back off."

Kevin Clark said he doesn't remember hearing the pop noise associated with the safety seal on a jar of baby food, WLKY reported. A local environmental health specialist offered a simple tip.

"If it's been broken, don't use the product," Scott Nethery said. "Take it back to the store or throw it away. Do that with anything that would have a safety seal."

Driggs said he took action despite not having many details; he just wanted his store to play it safe, WLKY reported.

"Yesterday, even though we didn't have a lot of information, we ran over just to make sure," he said. "We checked all of the baby food in general to make sure somebody hadn't come through and just popped tops in that category. We pulled all of that particular product down."

WLKY reported it's important to point out that the health department did not demand the food to be removed. It was a voluntary step by the store. Nethery said it appeared that none of the baby food on the Meijer shelves Thursday appeared to have been tampered with.
