Palaʻai (Pumpkin) Pie

Every batch of this pouch is tested for arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury by an ISO 17025-accredited lab (Light Labs, by ICP-MS/MS), and the certificate for each lot is published. The latest, lot 03/17/27 tested 2026-03-24, puts all four metals within the per-serving limits, with lead at 0.24 mcg per serving and mercury not detected.

Nothing is published about the pouch's food-contact surface materials, any polymer used, or a bisphenol-free scope for this product or the brand generally.

This pouch is clearly labeled Stage 3, a textured meal for experienced eaters, which is a specific, checkable age/stage claim rather than an ambiguous or inflated one.

No guidance is published on heating this pouch, a replacement schedule, or how the packaging holds up to warming or storage cycles.

We queried the full CPSC recall database, 1973 to 2026, and found no record naming Piko Provisions in any role. Controls confirm the registry does cover comparable product classes, so the clean result reflects a clean history.

Once opened, a pouch is to be refrigerated and eaten within 24 hours, a concrete storage instruction in the brand's own words; nothing is published on warming, serving from the pouch or discarding a pouch with a broken seal.

The product carries the Hawaii Seal of Quality and Made in Hawaii with Aloha certifications, each asserted for its products, though no certificate or member numbers are published.

The founder describes moving from a small co-manufacturer to the brand's own Waipahu facility, which discloses manufacturing location and history, but no ingredient-sourcing detail, warranty terms, or a repair/spare-parts route is published.

It uses only whole fruits and vegetables with no fillers or synthetic preservatives, and is described elsewhere as organic, but no certification scheme, scope, or ingredient origin is named for this pouch.

Nothing is published about the pouch laminate, spout material, or any bisphenol or phthalate testing for the packaging this food sits in.
