A Long Island baby was hospitalized with a suspected case of botulism after drinking formula linked to a recent outbreak of the potentially fatal illness , Nassau County officials said Tuesday.
The child — who is less than a year old — had consumed ByHeart formula, which has been linked to 15 confirmed or suspected infant botulism cases that resulted in hospitalizations in 12 states since August, according the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The Long Island baby is “in stable condition,” according to the county Department of Health.
The case is the first tied to the suspected outbreak in New York, but there have been previous cases or possible cases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as well as Rhode Island, California and Texas, according to officials.
