The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP), and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak involving three confirmed or suspected cases of infant botulism in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington. The CDPH IBTPP reported three toxin type A infections among infants consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula with illness onset between April and May 2026. All three cases included in this outbreak consumed Nara Organics-brand powdered infant formula. Officials in two states have collected leftover infant formula for testing. This testing is underway, and results are expected in the coming weeks. The FDA contacted the firm and recommended a recall due to the severity of illness and the epidemiological signal. On June 13, 2026, Nara Organics agreed to recall its entire Nara Organics brand Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula. All of Nara Organics' formula was manufactured in Europe. Consumers should not use recalled infant formula. The FDA's investigation is ongoing. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-infant-botulism-powdered-infant-formula-june-2026?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
