An infant in Pierce County was diagnosed with botulism last week, which is potentially linked to a national baby formula recall from Nov. 11.
The infant reportedly consumed the ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and is currently being treated at a local hospital. Testing will be conducted to determine the diagnosis, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPHD) announced .
Parents and guardians are urged to immediately stop using all lots of the ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula sold in 24 oz. cans and 0.6 oz. “anywhere” single-serving packets.
