Pennsylvania is included in a nationwide baby formula recall after babies in ten states contracted botulism. The FDA is warning parents that 13 babies got sick and needed to be hospitalized after drinking ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. Infant botulism is a rare illness that can be fatal without immediate medical care, but the FDA says no deaths have been reported. Symptoms include poor feeding, constipation, loss of head control and decreased facial movement which can lead to trouble breathing or respiratory arrest. The impacted states are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Arizona, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington. ByHeart Whole Nutrition, which is based in New York, issued a voluntary recall for two different infant formula lots with December 1st, 2026 “use by” dates. Parents are urged to record the code, check the company website, and throw the formula out immediately if you’ve purchased the affected product.
