Second Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to Nara Formula | San Jose News
Description
A second infant botulism outbreak linked to Nara Organics powdered baby formula has sickened four babies across California, Washington, and Pennsylvania—prompting an urgent recall. The toxin-producing bacteria, found in a can from one child’s home, can cause paralysis and requires immediate medical care. All infants were hospitalized but are recovering with antitoxin treatment. Parents are urged to monitor babies for symptoms like constipation or weak neck muscles and to stop using the formula immediately. Nara Organics has apologized and asked customers to return or dispose of unopened cans. This marks the second such outbreak this year—raising alarms about infant formula safety.
