RECALL ALERT: Nara Organics of New York, NY, is voluntarily recalling all lots of Nara Organics Powdered Infant Formula currently on the market out of an abundance of caution due to the potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination.

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

This formula is not available for purchase through the Wisconsin WIC program.

As of June 13, there have been no confirmed cases of infant botulism linked to this outbreak in Wisconsin.

🚭 Did You Know?

Wisconsin is one of only 6 states that has not updated state law to align with the federal To***co 21 law.

Federal law prohibits the sale of to***co products to anyone under age 21, but without a matching state law, confusion can arise for retailers, enforcement agencies, and communities.

Why does this matter?

🔹 Many people who use to***co or ni****ne products begin before age 21
🔹 The brain continues developing until about age 25, increasing vulnerability to ni****ne addiction
🔹 Consistent state and federal laws make education, enforcement, and compliance clearer and more effective

Aligning Wisconsin's law with the federal To***co 21 law would strengthen youth to***co prevention efforts, support retailers with clear guidance, and help protect the next generation from ni****ne addiction.

Together, we can create healthier communities for Wisconsin's youth. 💙 ***co21
