FDA ADVICE ON RECALLED BABY FORMULA

Sharing info from the FDA!

The FDA and CDC are investigating a multistate outbreak of infant botulism and possible link to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula which might be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum.

Parents and caregivers should stop using All ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula products. Please see the FDA website for information on what to do with formula.

https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-infant-botulism-infant-formula-november-2025

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 any of ByHeart infant formula.

Congrats to Gracie Guarino, CHC’s August Employee of the Month

“We’re lucky to have her on our TEAM!” was part of the statement written about Gracie Guarino, medical assistant at the Honesdale Family Health Center, by her nominator for CHC’s Employee of the Month. The health centers recently announced that Gracie is its August EOM. Although Gracie has only been with Honesdale FHC for a short time she is already viewed as “a dedicated team player who has shown motivation and perseverance.” Also mentioned was that Gracie is “always eager to help the patients, exhibits compassion and empathy and is willing to assist coworkers with any clinical questions that may be challenging –with positivity.”

Honesdale FHC Practice Manager Jill Van Blarcom, RN, couldn’t agree more, commenting that Gracie is “an excellent MA … engages in effective communication, collaborates and coordinates with the team to ensure flow of care is smooth.” Sounds as if Honesdale FHC’s patients are also lucky to have Gracie as part of the TEAM!

Gracie, continue to be “dependable, adaptable and willing to learn new things.” We thank you for all you do for the benefit of patients and coworkers.
