TOPIC: All Lots of Nara Infant Formula by Nara Organics: Recall - Because of Possible Health Risk

AUDIENCE: Consumer, Patient, Health Care Professional, Pharmacy, Pediatric, Gastroenterology

ISSUE: Nara Organics is recalling all lots of Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula currently on the market out of an abundance of caution due to the potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination.

Affected Product Details:

• Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula, 700g, with UPC 860013251901
• Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula, 400g, with UPC: 860013251918

Infant botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness that presents a serious threat to the health of infants which occurs when Clostridium botulinum spores are ingested and colonize the intestinal tract, producing botulinum neurotoxins in the immature gut of infants. Affected infants can present with some or all of the following signs and symptoms: constipation, poor feeding, ptosis (drooping eyelid), sluggish pupils, low muscle tone, difficulty sucking and swallowing, weak or altered cry, generalized weakness, respiratory difficulty, and possibly respiratory arrest.

Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula was distributed nationally across Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com between July 2025 and June 2026. Nara Infant Formula is not distributed outside of the USA.

The FDA and CDC contacted Nara Organics late Friday, June 12, 2026, and provided information about 3 cases of infant botulism in infants who CDC reported had consumed Nara formula. The 3 infants were hospitalized and treated with BabyBIG (Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous) in California, Washington, and Pennsylvania. There are no reported deaths. The three specific product lots these infants were exposed to are: 709125280E14F2, 709125288E14F2, 708125174E14F2.

As of today, Nara infant formula has not tested positive for C. botulinum. However, Nara is voluntarily recalling all products currently in market.
