Nara Organics Infant Formula Recall: What Parents Should Check Now
The FDA has recalled Nara Organics Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula, and parents and caregivers should check their canisters now. The agency says all lots currently on the market are included, and the product was sold through Target stores, Target.com, and Nara.com.
FDA says to stop using the formula immediately. If you have this product at home, in a diaper bag, or stored for later use, set it aside and do not feed it to an infant.
What product is recalled
The recall applies to Nara Organics Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula. According to the FDA notice, the recall covers the formula sold through the channels above and includes all lots on the market.
To identify the canister, check the UPC and lot code on the package label against the FDA recall notice. Do not rely on the front-of-package branding alone. If you are unsure whether a container matches, do not use it until you verify the code information.
Why FDA acted
The FDA says the recall is tied to a possible health risk connected with its infant botulism investigation involving powdered infant formula. The agency has also posted an outbreak update to help parents follow the situation as it develops.
FDA has not asked families to keep using this formula while waiting for more information. The instruction is to stop use now.
What symptoms to watch for
Infant botulism can be urgent. The FDA warns caregivers to watch for signs such as:
- constipation
- poor feeding
- weak cry
- loss of head control
- difficulty swallowing
- floppiness or unusual weakness
- trouble breathing
If an infant has any of these symptoms, seek medical care right away. If breathing is difficult or the baby seems very weak, call emergency services now.
What parents should do now
- Stop using the formula immediately.
- Check the UPC and lot code on any Nara Organics Whole Milk Powdered Infant Formula you have.
- Separate the product so no one feeds it by mistake.
- Follow the FDA notice for next steps on the recalled item.
- Contact a healthcare provider right away if an infant may have consumed it and is showing symptoms.
If your child already drank formula from a recalled canister, do not wait for symptoms to become severe before getting help. Botulism symptoms can begin gradually, so quick action matters.
Keep the package or take a clear photo of the label before discarding it so you can confirm the UPC and lot code if needed. Then watch the FDA recall page for any updates on the investigation and consumer instructions.
