Written By Elizabeth Lennox

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a recall for powdered infant formula.

On June 13, 2026, Nara Organics recalled all Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula. Nara Organics infant formula is a powdered formula sold at Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com. This brand of formula makes up less than 1% of all infant formula available in the United States, and shortages of infant formula resulting from this recall are not expected.

Per the CDC, please follow the following instructions:

  • Do not use recalled infant formula. If you have unopened cans of Nara Organics infant formula, throw them away or return them. If you have an opened can of Nara Organics infant formula, see guidance from the CDC.

  • Wash items and surfaces. Wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled formula using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.

  • Seek care if your infant becomes ill. Seek immediate medical care if your infant consumed Nara Organics infant formula and has any of these signs or symptoms of infant botulism: poor feeding, loss of head control, difficulty swallowing, or decreased facial expression.

  • Report information to the FDA. To report a complaint or adverse event (illness or serious allergic reaction), visit the FDA's Safety Reporting Portal. If your child has signs or symptoms of infant botulism, seek medical attention before using the portal.

For additional details, please see the release from the CDC.
