The spokeswoman for Kroger, the parent company of both QFC and Fred Meyer, told KOMO News that the product has been pulled from the shelves of all 233 stores. There is a black market for these types of products, she said, but it's unclear at this time how the product made Kroger's shelves.

Anyone who has bought the Earth's Best Organic Soy Infant Formula is asked to return it to the store for a refund or another product.
