Nara Organics of New York is voluntarily recalling all lots of its powdered infant formula currently on the market, citing an abundance of caution due to the potential risk of contamination with Clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that can produce toxins, which may lead to infant botulism, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness in babies. The illness can occur when infants consume the spores of the bacteria, which can then grow in the intestinal tract and produce harmful neurotoxins.

Health officials say infants affected by botulism may show symptoms including constipation, poor feeding, drooping eyelids, sluggish pupils, low muscle tone, difficulty sucking or swallowing, a weak or altered cry, general weakness, breathing difficulties, and in severe cases, respiratory arrest.

The recalled Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula was distributed nationwide through Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com between July 2025 and June 2026. The company says the formula was only distributed within the United States.

The recalled products include Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula in the 700-gram size with UPC number 860013251901, and Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula in the 400-gram size with UPC number 860013251918.

Consumers who have this product are encouraged to stop using it immediately and check the packaging to determine if it is part of the recall. Parents and caregivers with questions or concerns about potential symptoms in an infant should contact a healthcare provider.
