Summary
Three infants in California, Pennsylvania and Washington were sickened after consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula, prompting FDA and CDC to warn parents to stop using it immediately.
All lots of the powdered formula are affected, including 700g and 400g packages sold mostly at Target; consumers were told to discard the product or return it for a refund.
No deaths have been reported, but all three infants were hospitalized, and CDC said botulism symptoms can take weeks to appear after exposure.
Infant botulism begins when Clostridium botulinum spores colonize a baby's intestine and can progress to paralysis, breathing trouble and weeks of hospitalization if untreated.
