The FDA and CDC are looking into a multi-state incident of infant botulism that is associated with a certain brand of powdered formula, with either confirmed or suspected cases reported in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington. All three cases are linked to the same organic powdered formula brand, which was available nationally via major retailers and online from July 2025 to June 2026. The FDA reached out to the manufacturer in mid-June, advising an immediate recall due to the seriousness of the illnesses. Authorities are urging parents and caregivers to discontinue use of the affected formula right away and to keep any opened containers for testing purposes. Health officials anticipate that lab results pinpointing the source of the contamination will be available within weeks.
