A botulism outbreak from ByHeart formula, linked to contaminated milk powder, sickened 51 infants across 19 states, prompting a nationwide recall.
A multistate outbreak of infant botulism linked to ByHeart infant formula has been traced to contaminated whole milk powder from Organic West Milk Inc. and a processing plant in Fallon, Nevada.
The CDC and FDA confirmed Clostridium botulinum in both the milk powder and finished formula, leading to 51 cases across 19 states, primarily in California and Texas, with all infants hospitalized but no deaths.
The outbreak is the first large-scale U.S. case tied to infant formula, though botulism spores have been found in past products at low levels.
The source of contamination remains under investigation, and the FDA says routine testing for botulism in formula is not required.
ByHeart has recalled all its products, and health officials urge parents to stop using them and seek medical care if symptoms like constipation or poor feeding appear.
