Infant Botulism
Episode 14
Monday, 8 December, 2025
In November 2025, ByHeart Infant Formula was recalled due to its link with infant botulism. As of December 3, 2025, a total of 39 infants with suspected or confirmed infant botulism and confirmed exposure to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula (various lots) have been reported from 18 states. Laboratory confirmation for some cases is ongoing. Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 9 to November 19, 2025. All 39 infants were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported to date. For 38 infants with age and 39 with sex information available, they range in age from 16 to 264 days, and 15 (38%) are female.One of our own BRC clients developed botulism in September. While it was not related to the ByHeart formula, I thought it may be helpful to discuss this topic due to the severity of the illness. Today we talk to Laura Raggi, and her sweet baby, Gabby as they take us through the horrific period when Gabby contracted botulism. The BRC is a nonprofit organization.
