Nara Organics Recalls Baby Formula Amid Botulism Outbreak

Urgent Recall of Nara Organics Baby Formula

Nara Organics has recalled its Whole Milk Organic Powdered infant formula after reports of infant botulism in three states: California, Pennsylvania, and Washington. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that three infants aged 2 to 5 months were hospitalized after consuming the formula, which is also available on Nara.com.

Infant botulism is a rare but serious condition that can lead to severe health issues. Symptoms include:

  • Constipation
  • Poor feeding
  • Drooping eyelids
  • Weak muscle tone
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Breathing problems
Parents are advised to stop using the recalled formula immediately and monitor their infants for any symptoms. The CDC recommends labeling the product as 'DO NOT USE' and storing it safely away from other baby items for at least a month before disposal if no symptoms appear.
