Three infants in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington have been hospitalized with confirmed botulism after consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula — prompting a nationwide recall that federal health officials say every parent who purchased this formula must act on immediately.
The FDA and CDC issued a joint alert on June 13, 2026, after the California Department of Public Health's Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP) — the world's only producer of the infant botulism antitoxin BabyBIG — identified three type A toxin infections in infants who had all consumed Nara formula. No deaths have been reported, but all three infants required hospitalization and treatment with BabyBIG, the only approved therapy for the condition.
