•Injury and Disease Prevention

•Public Health Preparedness

Our strategies correspond with the goals established by Healthy People 2020, a set of health objectives for the Nation (www.healthypeople.gov/About ).

⚠️ RECALL NOTICE: Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula
Nara Organics has voluntarily recalled all lots currently on the market of Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula out of an abundance of caution due to the potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination.

Affected products:
• Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula – 700g (UPC: 860013251901)
• Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula – 400g (UPC: 860013251918)

The product was distributed nationwide through Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com between July 2025 and June 2026.

Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that can occur when C. botulinum spores grow in an infant’s intestinal tract and produce toxins. Symptoms may include:
• Constipation
• Poor feeding
• Drooping eyelids
• Weak or altered cry
• Low muscle tone
• Difficulty sucking or swallowing
• Generalized weakness
• Breathing difficulties

The FDA and CDC notified Nara Organics regarding three reported cases of infant botulism in infants who had consumed the formula. All three infants were hospitalized and treated. There have been no reported deaths.

Consumers should stop using affected products immediately. If your infant has consumed this formula and is showing symptoms, contact your healthcare provider right away.

Customers who purchased directly from Nara may be eligible for an automatic refund. Target customers may return affected product according to Target’s return process.

Please check the lot code on the bottom of your can and follow recall instructions if affected.

Ticks are active across Pennsylvania, and prevention is the best protection. When spending time outdoors, use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants when possible, and perform a thorough tick check after being outside.

If you find a tick attached to your skin, remove it promptly using fine-tipped tweezers by grasping it as close to the skin as possible and pulling upward with steady, even pressure.

Ticks can attach anywhere on the body but are commonly found in the scalp, behind the ears, under the arms, around the waist, behind the knees, and in other warm, hidden areas.

Learn more about tick prevention, proper tick removal, and tick-borne diseases from the Pennsylvania Department of Health: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/health/diseases-conditions/infectious-disease/vectorborne-diseases/tick-diseases
