FDA Recall: Nara Organics Infant Formula Poses Botulism Risk
Important: If you have any Nara Organics Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula, stop feeding it to your baby immediately and check the UPC and lot code. The product may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which can cause life-threatening infant botulism.
Why Was Nara Organics Infant Formula Recalled?
On June 13, 2026, Nara Organics of New York, NY, issued a nationwide voluntary recall of all lots of its Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula after federal and state investigators linked three confirmed cases of infant botulism to the product. While no sample has tested positive to date, the company is acting “out of an abundance of caution” to protect consumers.
