The Tennessee Department of Health has issued a warning about ByHeart brand powdered infant formula. This comes after the CDC and FDA issued alerts about infant botulism illnesses linked to the formula which is sold online and at major retailers.
All ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula products have been recalled. This includes all unexpired lots of formula cans and single-serve “anywhere” sticks.
The FDA says Parents and Caregivers should stop using any ByHeart infant formula products immediately.
If your child consumed ByHeart formula and is experiencing symptoms seek immediate medical attention.
If your child consumed ByHeart formula and is not currently showing symptoms, continue monitoring them and seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
If you still have the formula in your home, you should:
take a photo or record the information on the bottom of the package.
keep the container in a safe spot and be sure to label that product as DO NOT USE.
If your child develops symptoms your state health department might want to collect your formula container for testing. If your child does not develop symptoms after 30 days, throw your containers out. (Photo courtesy FDA.)
