Organic baby formula recalled following botulism cases

Article excerpt

The FDA is investigating a multistate outbreak of infant botulism connected to Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula, prompting a recall of the product. Botulism, a rare but serious illness caused by bacterial toxins, poses particular danger to infants whose immune systems are still developing. The agency is working to determine the scope of contamination and identify affected batches. Parents who purchased the formula are being urged to stop using it immediately and contact their pediatrician if their infant shows symptoms such as constipation, weak crying, or difficulty feeding.
