ByHeart Expands Recall of Baby Formula Due to Botulism Outbreak

ByHeart has announced an expansion of its voluntary recall of infant formula products as an investigation continues into a growing outbreak of infant botulism that has affected numerous infants across multiple states. The CDC has reported that at least two more infants have been hospitalized due to this outbreak, bringing the total number of hospitalizations linked to the recalled formula to 15. Parents in affected states, including North Carolina and Illinois, are being urged to check their pantries for the recalled products, which are sold at major retailers such as Target and Whole Foods. Preliminary tests have identified the presence of the botulism-causing germ in the formula, prompting urgent warnings from health officials and the FDA. The recall now includes all ByHeart products sold nationwide amid rising concerns about this potentially fatal illness.
