📣Formula recall due to potential botulism risk📣
Nara Organics is voluntarily recalling all lots of Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula out of an abundance of caution.

Parents and Caregivers should stop use of Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula immediately. Botulism can be fatal. If your child has consumed Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula and is experiencing signs and symptoms of botulism such as poor feeding, loss of head control, difficulty swallowing, or decreased facial expression, seek immediate health care.

Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula was distributed nationally across Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com between July 2025 and June 2026.
