Nara Organics is recalling its Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula after federal officials report infant botulism cases linked to the product. According to multiple outlets, a California infant became ill with potentially fatal botulism, and two additional babies in other states were also diagnosed, bringing the total reported cases to three. The illnesses are being addressed as part of a multistate incident.
The recalled formula is described as being sold nationwide and distributed through major retail and direct channels. Reports say the product was available at Target stores and through the company’s website (including Nara.com), with some coverage also describing sales online more broadly.
Officials urge consumers to stop using the formula immediately. While botulism is characterized as rare, health authorities note that it is serious for infants under age 1. The recalls and public communications are aimed at preventing further exposure while the investigation and response continue.
