⚠️ RECALL UPDATE: All ByHeart Infant Formula products recalled
The FDA has expanded its recall to include all unexpired lots of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula - including cans and single-serve "anywhere" sticks - after additional suspected cases of infant botulism were reported across several states, including Illinois.
If you have ByHeart formula at home:
➡️ Stop using it immediately.
➡️ Take a photo or record the lot number on the bottom of the container.
➡️ Label it “DO NOT USE” and store it safely - your local or state health department may request it for testing.
➡️ If your child shows symptoms such as constipation, poor feeding, weak cry, loss of head control, or difficulty breathing, seek medical care immediately.
➡️ If your child remains symptom-free after 30 days, you can safely dispose of the container.
