CDC and public health officials in several states, the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program, and FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of infant botulism linked to recalled infant formula. Infant botulism happens when swallowed spores from a type of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum infects a baby's large intestine and make toxin in it. Infant botulism often starts with constipation but is usually first noticed as difficulty feeding (sucking and swallowing), a weak and altered cry, and loss of muscle tone.

On November 8, 2025, ByHeart Inc. recalled two lots of Whole Nutrition Infant Formula:
Lot: 206VABP/251261P2 ("Use by 01 Dec 2026")
Lot: 206VABP/251131P2 ("Use by 01 Dec 2026")
ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula is available for sale online and at major retailers nationwide. FDA reports that ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula makes up an estimated 1% of all infant formula sales in the United States and this outbreak does not create shortage concerns of infant formula for parents and caregivers.

What you should do
Do not use recalled infant formula. Throw it away or return it to where you bought it.
If possible, record the lot number.
Wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled formula using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
Seek immediate medical care if your infant has consumed ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and has any of these symptoms:
Poor feeding
Loss of head control
Difficulty swallowing
Decreased facial expression
Symptoms of infant botulism can take as long as several weeks to develop, so parents should remain vigilant if they used the recalled lots of infant formula.

As many of you know, I am on the Board of Directors for Shore Community Services.

As of November 1st, SNAP benefits may lapse as long as the federal government remains shut down. In Illinois, over 11,000 people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) receive SNAP benefits. Many Shore families depend on these benefits! The residents in our group homes will collectively lose around $5,000 each month in food assistance. With these benefits, we help residents shop for and cook nutritious meals tailored to individual health needs and diets. There are several ways you can help Shore residents who are losing benefits!

Make a food box full of staples and deliver to Shore; we'll make sure it gets to a family in need. Suggested items include: non-perishable items like peanut butter, rice, canned goods, pasta, canned tuna, cereal or oatmeal, and hygiene products like soap, shampoo, tooth paste, etc. 

Volunteer to cook and deliver a meal directly to one of our group homes. Contact Mary Matz, at (847) 982-2030 ext. 221 or mmatz@shoreservices.org to schedule a volunteer night.

Donate to Shore to help cover expenses to buy groceries for each home (click button below to donate). https://shoreservices.org/donate/

If you will struggle with food insecurity after benefits stop, find food pantries, mutual aid networks, and more here: https://findhelp.org/.

Together we can tackle any challenge! Thank you for your continued support and encouragement in enriching the lives of the individuals entrusted in our care.
