On June 13, 2026, the FDA released an urgent advisory following Nara Organics' recall of its Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula, which has been found to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium responsible for severe botulism. This recall impacts products sold in all 36 states where Nara Organics operates. Botulism poses a significant threat to infants, as even minimal exposure can lead to critical respiratory failure. Parents and guardians are strongly advised to cease use of any affected formula and consult with their child's healthcare provider. The FDA is conducting comprehensive traceback investigations and will issue updates as more information about distribution becomes available. Botulism can have a mortality rate of up to 2 percent in infants, even with prompt medical intervention.
