Nara Organics Recalls Baby Formula After Infant Botulism Outbreak
The CDC said three infants in three states became sick, and treatment with BabyBIG is recommended for suspected cases.
- On Saturday, Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula was recalled nationwide at Target stores and online after federal authorities linked the product to a multistate botulism outbreak.

- Nara Organics is providing automatic refunds for website purchases and supporting returns at Target, stating the company is 'taking aggressive action to ensure the safety' of families.
- Babies exhibiting symptoms like constipation, poor feeding, or weak muscle tone require immediate medical attention and treatment with FDA-approved BabyBIG, an intravenous medication derived from human blood plasma.
