FDA Links Recalled Baby Formula to Three Botulism Cases, Including One in Thurston County
Three infants were hospitalized with infant botulism, and no formula has tested positive, officials said.
- On Saturday, June 13, 2026, Nara Organics voluntarily recalled all lots of its Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula due to potential Clostridium botulinum contamination, affecting products sold nationwide through its website and Target stores.
- The recall followed reports of three infants in Washington, California, and Pennsylvania hospitalized with botulism, after the Food and Drug Administration notified the company of these cases late last Friday.
- Parents should watch for symptoms including constipation, poor feeding, sluggish pupils, and a "floppy" infant, contacting a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms appear after consuming formula within the past 30 days.
- Nara Organics will automatically refund website purchases from May and June, while Target customers can return products to stores and consumers should sanitize surfaces that contacted the formula using hot, soapy water.
- Modern ICU support and BabyBIG antitoxin treatment have pushed the infant botulism survival rate above 98%, making early administration of the antitoxin critical for better outcomes and shorter recovery times.
