In an effort to prioritize infant safety, ByHeart, a leading baby nutrition company, has issued a **nationwide recall** of all batches of its Whole Nutrition Infant Formula 24 oz cans and 0.6 oz Anywhere Pack™ due to the potential risk of *Clostridium botulinum* contamination. While no unopened ByHeart product has tested positive for *Clostridium botulinum* spores or toxin, this is a **proactive safety measure** taken in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
## Why This Recall is Important
*Clostridium botulinum* poses a serious health risk, particularly to infants, as exposure may lead to **infant botulism**. This rare illness occurs when *Clostridium botulinum* spores colonize the intestinal tract, producing neurotoxins. These toxins can result in severe symptoms, including:
- **Constipation**
- **Poor feeding**
- **Drooping eyelids (ptosis)**
- **Weak muscle tone**
- **Difficulty swallowing or sucking**
- **Weakened or altered crying**
- **Respiratory difficulties**
Left untreated, infant botulism could lead to respiratory arrest. Immediate medical attention is crucial if your baby exhibits these symptoms.
The recall also comes amid an ongoing FDA and CDC investigation into a rise in 84 infant botulism cases reported since August. While the investigation is still underway, ByHeart was alerted to the potential hazard on November 7, 2025, and acted swiftly to broaden its recall and launch its own comprehensive investigation.
## Details of the Recall
As of now, ByHeart's voluntary recall applies to:
- **All batches** of Whole Nutrition Infant Formula 24 oz cans
- **All Anywhere Pack™ 0.6 oz packets**
Key highlights:
- No unopened ByHeart products have tested positive for *Clostridium botulinum*.
- The recall is a proactive step to protect infants and provide transparent information to families.
- ByHeart is cooperating fully with the FDA during the investigation.
