ByHeart Formula Recall

Many of you may have already seen this in the news, but we wanted to ensure the word got out that ByHeart has now recalled ALL lots of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. Here is a link to the FDA announcement with instructions on what to do if you have been using the formula. (Their recommendation actually is to save any cans you might have, mark “DO NOT USE” on them, and hold them for 30 days; if a child does fall ill they want to be able to test the formula they used). Excerpt from the announcement:

Parents and Caregivers should stop using any ByHeart infant formula products immediately.

• If your child consumed ByHeart formula and is experiencing symptoms (see below) seek immediate medical attention.

• If your child consumed ByHeart formula and is not currently showing symptoms, continue monitoring them and seek medical attention if symptoms develop.

• If you still have the formula in your home, you should:

  • take a photo or record the information on the bottom of the package.

  • keep the container in a safe spot and be sure to label that product as DO NOT USE.

  • If your child develops symptoms your state health department might want to collect your formula container for testing. If your child does not develop symptoms after 30 days, throw your containers out.
