US EditionIDPH Advises Parents to Discard ByHeart Formula After Infant Botulism Cases in Illinois
Nebraska recall now covers all unexpired ByHeart infant formula after 15 botulism cases linked nationwide, with products sold at major retailers including Walmart and Target.
- Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services expanded the recall to include all unexpired ByHeart Whole Nutrition formula cans and single‑serve anywhere sticks in Nebraska.
- The CDC found a link between at least 15 infant botulism cases and ByHeart Whole Nutrition formula, while California Department of Public Health identified botulinum toxin in a tested can.
- ByHeart previously recalled five batches in 2022 after Chronobacter sakazakii contamination, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Warning Letter about safety issues.
- Parents face a new warning as retailers sold the affected formula, but there are no reported cases in Nebraska or Iowa and no reported deaths.
- Attorney Brendan Flaherty said `Our clients want answers and just as important, want to make sure that this never happens to another family` as OFT filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Kentucky, linked to infant botulism cases.
