Parents across the U.S. are being warned to check their baby formula after Nara Organics recalled its Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula.

Federal health officials say three infants between 2 and 5 months old were hospitalized after consuming the formula.

The cases were reported in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

The product was sold nationwide through Target stores, Target.com, and Nara.com.

What Was Recalled?

The recall covers all Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula products, including all lot numbers and can sizes.

Health officials say parents and caregivers should stop using the recalled formula immediately.

For many families, this is alarming because the product may still be sitting in kitchens, pantries, or nursery shelves.

Why Was It Recalled?

The recall is connected to a multistate outbreak of infant botulism, a rare but serious illness that can affect babies under 1 year old.

According to health officials, all three infants consumed Nara Organics formula before becoming ill.

All three were hospitalized and treated. No deaths have been reported.

Testing is still underway, and officials say the investigation is ongoing.

Symptoms Parents Should Watch For

Parents should watch closely if their baby consumed the recalled formula.

Possible warning signs include:

• Poor feeding
• Constipation
• Trouble swallowing
• Loss of head control
• Decreased facial expression
• Muscle weakness
• Trouble breathing

Health officials say symptoms can take time to appear, so parents may need to monitor their baby for weeks after the last use.

What Parents Should Do Now

Do not use the recalled formula.

If the can is unopened, parents can throw it away or return it.

If the can has already been opened, officials advise taking a picture of the label, lot number, and use-by date before discarding or storing it separately in case health officials need to test it later.

Any parent whose baby used the formula and shows symptoms should seek medical care immediately.

Why This Alert Matters

For parents, baby formula is not just another grocery item.

It is something they trust with their child’s health every day.

That is why this recall is getting attention: three babies were hospitalized, the product was sold through a major retailer, and many families may not realize they still have the recalled formula at home.

The safest move is simple: check the label before the next bottle.
