Baby formula sold at Target recalled after multistate infant botulism outbreak

Article excerpt

Nara Organics has recalled its organic baby formula sold at Target and online following a multistate outbreak of infant botulism. The company's products were distributed across multiple states, prompting health authorities to alert consumers and healthcare providers. Infant botulism, a serious bacterial infection, can cause muscle weakness and breathing problems in babies under 12 months old. Parents who purchased the formula are being advised to stop using it immediately and contact their pediatricians if their infants show symptoms. The recall underscores ongoing safety concerns in the infant nutrition market.
