Parents are being told to check their formula right away. A nationwide recall now covers all lots of one organic infant formula after three babies were hospitalized. Federal officials say the investigation is still ongoing.
What was recalled and why
Nara Organics has voluntarily recalled all lots of its Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula, according to the FDA and company recall information cited by NewsBreak. The recall covers both 400-gram and 700-gram containers sold in the United States between July 2025 and June 2026. The source material did not provide UPC codes, lot numbers, an FDA recall number, or a hazard classification.
The recall followed three confirmed or suspected infant botulism cases tied to babies in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington. According to federal health officials, the illnesses happened between April and May 2026. All three infants had consumed the Nara Organics formula before becoming sick.
Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. Officials said the affected babies were between 2 and 5 months old and all were hospitalized. No deaths were reported, and the three infants survived.
What investigators know so far
The FDA said leftover formula collected during the investigation is still being tested. As of the source information available, officials had not confirmed whether Clostridium botulinum was present in the formula itself. Even so, the agency recommended the recall because of the seriousness of the illnesses.
The recalled product was sold through Target stores, Target.com, and Nara.com, according to the report. Source material says distribution was nationwide, but it did not include a state-by-state list of where the product was shipped. Because no official state distribution list was provided in the cited material, only the three illness states, California, Pennsylvania, and Washington, can be confirmed from the available reporting.
The source material also did not cite the exact recall initiation date. It states only that the formula was sold from July 2025 through June 2026 and that the illnesses occurred from April to May 2026.
What parents should do now
The FDA says consumers should not use any recalled Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula while the investigation continues. Parents and caregivers are being advised to stop using the product immediately. Nara Organics is offering refunds to affected customers, according to the recall notice described in the report.
Health officials said parents should contact a healthcare provider if a baby develops symptoms including constipation, poor feeding, muscle weakness, a weak cry, drooping eyelids, or breathing difficulties. Those symptoms were specifically listed by the FDA in connection with this recall. The cases involved infants, making the warning especially urgent for families with babies under 1 year old.
Several key recall details commonly found in FDA notices were not included in the source material, including any recall number, UPC, lot code list, or formal class designation. What is clear is that all lots and both package sizes are covered, and officials want the formula taken out of use now.
