Infant Formula Recall

By Heart Infant Formula recall

[New York, NY] – ByHeart a next-generation baby nutrition company, announced today that it is expanding its voluntary recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ nationwide.

This action is being taken in close collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), despite the fact that no unopened ByHeart product has tested positive for Clostridium botulinum spores or toxin.

Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that occurs when Clostridium botulinum spores are ingested and then 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 possible respiratory arrest. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.

The FDA and CDC have been conducting a broader investigation into a spike of 84 infant botulism cases that started in August. Once ByHeart was alerted on November 7, 2025, the company acted decisively. The results of the FDA’s investigation into the broader cases will help inform any additional steps as our own investigation continues.

What Consumers Should Do:>p> Consumers who have purchased ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ should immediately discontinue use and dispose of the product.

If your infant is experiencing symptoms related to infant botulism, contact your health care provider immediately.

Measles Protection is Available from Township Clinics

Measles activity is still a threat in Illinois and vaccinations remain important. For the latest information regarding cases in Illinois use this link.

Measles can cause pneumonia, croup, ear infections, swelling of the brain, brain damage, complications for pregnant people, erase the immune system’s memory of viruses and bacteria increasing the likelihood of infection with other illnesses for years, and can cause death.

Measles spreads easily from person to person and can stay in the air for hours. Measles is so contagious that about 9 out of 10 people who come into contact with the virus AND do not have protection against it through vaccine or past infection/exposure may become infected.

The best protection against measles is the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection with two doses of the MMR vaccine 97% effective against the disease.

MMR is part of the routine vaccination schedule for children, with the first dose given between 12-15 months of age, and the second dose between 4-6 years of age. In Illinois, one dose on MMR is required for daycare and preschool attendance, and two doses are required for K-12 school attendance.

Stickney Public Health District, the local health department for Stickney Township, offers MMR vaccinations at no cost for eligible children for the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program, $5 for kids with private insurance and low-cost vaccines for adults. If you are insured, visit your healthcare provider or in-network pharmacy.

When traveling internationally or to areas with measles outbreaks, make sure that travelers are fully protected with the MMR vaccine. In these situations, infants 6 months-12 months can receive an early dose and everyone 12 months and older should have two shots for full protection. After traveling, watch for signs and symptoms of measles for 3 weeks after returning home. Contact your healthcare provider if illness with rash and high fever occurs.

All Stickney Township residents are encouraged to review their medical records and make sure they are protected from measles and/or are up to date on their MMR vaccine. If unsure, contact your healthcare provider to verify your immunization history.

Immunization records recorded in the Illinois immunization registry (I-Care) can be accessed using IDPH Vax Verify portal. Keep a copy of your vaccination/immunity record handy and in a safe place.

If you are infected with measles or are identified as a close contact of a person with measles, your local health department will contact you to help you determine next steps, answer questions, and share resources.
