New York, NY – November 12, 2025 – Infant nutrition company ByHeart has issued a voluntary recall for all its baby formula products sold nationwide, following reports of potential bacterial contamination. The move affects thousands of cans and pouches, prompting urgent warnings from health authorities.
The recall stems from possible contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii, a rare but dangerous bacterium that can lead to severe infections in newborns, including meningitis. No illnesses have been reported yet, but the company is urging parents to immediately stop using the affected products and check batch numbers on their website for details.
FDA officials are investigating the issue, emphasizing safe alternatives like breastfeeding or vetted competitors. This incident echoes past formula shortages and safety scares, heightening scrutiny on the industry. Parents can contact ByHeart for full refunds or exchanges.
