A recalled baby formula was linked to botulism cases in two Illinois infants, state health officials warn.
Two lots of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula were recalled on Saturday, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The department is advising parents to avoid the formula until further notice.
The two Illinois babies with botulism symptoms had both consumed the powdered formula. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the same formula is linked to an additional 11 suspected botulism cases in nine other states: Arizona, California, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington.
Botulism is caused by a bacterial toxin that attacks the body’s nerves and can cause life-threatening symptoms, including muscle paralysis, difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, fatigue and gastrointestinal issues. The bacteria can be found in food that tastes and looks normal.
The state health department did not share the condition of the two babies or where in Illinois they live.
ByHeart Inc recalled two lots of formula: 206VABP/251261P2 (“Use by 01 Dec 2026″) and 206VABP/251131P2 (“Use by 01 Dec 2026″).
ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula remains available for sale online and in stores but makes up only 1% of the baby formula market, according to the state health department.
