US EditionTwo companies supplied dried milk powder linked to botulism in ByHeart baby formula
The outbreak has sickened 51 babies in 19 states since December 2023, with genetic testing linking contamination in organic milk powder to infants' illness.
- Two suppliers provided dried milk powder tied to a botulism outbreak linked to ByHeart, infant formula company, which has sickened 51 babies across 19 states, FDA officials said on Jan. 23.
- Powdered milk is made by pasteurizing, concentrating and spray-drying liquid milk, processes that can leave Clostridium botulinum spores intact, which infants can ingest and develop paralysis from, Kristin Schill said.
- Genetic testing matched a supplier sample to a finished ByHeart can and a sick baby, while Dairy Farmers of America said Organic West Milk Inc. supplied the positive sample to ByHeart.
- ByHeart recalled all its products, while Organic West Milk Inc. halted sales of baby and children’s milk powder as testing and investigation continue, FDA officials said.
