"ByHeart officials expanded the voluntary recall from two lots announced Saturday to all products in consumers' homes and in stores. That includes ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and Anywhere Pack pouches of powdered formula. The company sells about 200,000 cans of infant formula a month online and in stores such as Target, Walmart, Albertsons and Whole Foods, according to Dr. Devon Kuehn, chief medical officer."
"ByHeart, a manufacturer of organic baby formula, recalled all of its products sold nationwide Tuesday, days after some batches were recalled in an expanding outbreak of infant botulism. At least 15 babies in 12 states have been sickened in the outbreak since August, with more cases pending, according to state and federal health officials. All of the infants were hospitalized after consuming ByHeart formula, officials said. No deaths have been reported."
ByHeart issued a nationwide recall of all its baby formula products after multiple batches were tied to an expanding infant botulism outbreak. At least 15 infants in 12 states were hospitalized after consuming ByHeart formula; no deaths have been reported. The recall covers Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and Anywhere Pack powdered pouches sold online and at major retailers. Parents and caregivers are advised to stop use and dispose of the product. Company officials said the recall was enacted in close collaboration with the FDA despite unopened products not testing positive. California found toxin-producing bacteria in an opened can, and the FDA is investigating and recommended expanding the recall.
