The United States is currently under a significant public health alert following a multistate outbreak of infant botulism linked to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula. According to an official statement released by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of November 14, 2025, there have been 23 confirmed or suspected cases of infant botulism among infants who consumed ByHeart formula. These cases have been reported in states including Arizona, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington, with all affected infants requiring hospitalization. To date, no deaths have been reported.

Caregivers are urgently advised to stop using all ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula products immediately. The recall applies to all unexpired cans and single-serve packs, regardless of lot number. Anyone who has this formula should take a photo of the packaging and keep it in a safe spot, labeled as "Do Not Use," in case local health authorities request it for investigation. If an infant has consumed this formula and starts experiencing symptoms such as constipation, poor feeding, muscle weakness, or a weak cry, immediate medical attention is necessary. The CDC has emphasized that caregivers should continue to monitor any child who consumed the recalled formula and seek healthcare if symptoms develop. More information can be found in notices from both the FDA and CDC.

Health departments are coordinating with the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program to test formula samples, and the outbreak is being closely monitored across state and federal agencies. According to health authorities in King County, Washington, while infant botulism can be fatal if untreated, there have been no reported deaths in this outbreak so far, and several cases remain hospitalized.

The CDC clarifies that other formula brands are not implicated in this outbreak. No other ByHeart products or formulas from different brands are currently subject to recall or advisories.

In relation to other public health concerns, ProMED reports that influenza activity, particularly H3N2, is rising nationwide, though the CDC has not issued a new risk assessment this week. Health authorities recommend that listeners ensure their vaccinations for influenza are up-to-date, especially among groups at higher risk such as seniors, young children, and those with chronic conditions.

Avian influenza (H5N1) has also been detected in poultry in several states, including a recent case in a duck in Hawaii. While there have been no recent reported cases of human infection linked to these avian outbreaks, listeners should avoid contact with sick or dead birds and report unusual bird die-offs to local authorities.

The CDC continues to monitor reports of monkeypox and encourages adherence to preventive measures, though no new large clusters are noted this week. Local health departments also remind the public to stay alert for additional seasonal health risks, such as extreme cold alerts in regions like Baltimore, where Code Blue protocols are in place to protect vulnerable populations from winter weather hazards.

For the most current and detailed public health alerts, listeners are encouraged to consult official CDC and FDA resources, as well as state and local health department announcements.
