Nara Organics has issued a recall of its organic baby formula products sold at Target stores and online following reports of a multistate infant botulism outbreak.

The recall affects organic baby formula products distributed through Target's retail locations and e-commerce platform. The company took the precautionary measure after health officials identified cases of infant botulism across multiple states.

Infant botulism is a rare but serious condition that occurs when babies ingest spores of Clostridium botulinum bacteria, which then grow in their intestines and produce toxins. The condition primarily affects infants under 12 months of age and can cause symptoms including constipation, weak cry, poor feeding, and muscle weakness.

The scope of the outbreak, including the number of affected infants and specific states involved, has not been detailed in the initial recall announcement. Parents and caregivers who have purchased Nara Organics baby formula from Target are advised to discontinue use of the product immediately.

Target customers who purchased the recalled formula can return the product to stores for a full refund. The recall represents a precautionary measure as health authorities investigate the potential link between the formula and the reported botulism cases.
