Baby Formula Sold at Target Recalled Nationwide

Parents across Alabama are being urged to stop using certain Nara Organics powdered infant formula products following a nationwide voluntary recall.

Nara Organics announced the recall of all lots currently on the market due to a potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination. The bacteria can cause infant botulism, a rare but serious illness that can be life-threatening in young children.

The recalled formula was sold nationwide through Target stores, Target.com and Nara's website between July 2025 and June 2026.

According to information released by the company, federal health officials recently notified Nara Organics of three reported cases of infant botulism involving babies in California, Washington and Pennsylvania who had consumed the formula. All three infants were hospitalized and treated, and no deaths have been reported.

While testing has not confirmed the presence of Clostridium botulinum in the formula, the company said it is recalling all affected products out of an abundance of caution while working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health partners.

Health experts say symptoms of infant botulism can include constipation, poor feeding, drooping eyelids, weak crying, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness and breathing problems.

Parents who have purchased Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula in either the 400-gram or 700-gram containers should stop using the product immediately and contact their healthcare provider if their child develops symptoms.

Customers who purchased the formula through Target can return the product through Target's return process. Nara Organics is also offering refunds for eligible customers and says additional information is available through the company's website.

The recall notice was issued by Nara Organics in coordination with federal health officials.
