  • Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to ByHeart Formula Sparks Nationwide Alert with 23 Hospitalized Cases Across 13 States
    2025/11/15
    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.

  • Measles Outbreak Spreads Across Southern States Prompting Urgent Vaccination Calls and Public Health Warnings
    2025/11/13
    Listeners, here’s the latest on public health alerts across the United States for today, November 13, 2025.

    The South Carolina Department of Public Health has confirmed an ongoing measles outbreak in the Upstate region, now reporting 43 total cases linked to this outbreak and 46 cases statewide since the start of the year. On November 2, a public exposure occurred at Kanpai of Tokyo restaurant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Health officials advise anyone present at the restaurant that day between 3 and 6 p.m. to monitor for measles symptoms—fever, cough, congestion, and rash—and to contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop. Unvaccinated individuals, especially children and the immunocompromised, are most at risk. The outbreak demonstrates the critical importance of maintaining updated MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination status, as emphasized by the South Carolina DPH.

    ProMED, a global health monitoring service, also reports recent measles activity in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Tennessee. In Tennessee, health authorities note that the most recent measles case is the first travel-related, unvaccinated case in Nashville in two decades. Nationwide, health departments urge listeners to confirm that all family members—particularly children—are current on MMR vaccinations to help stop further spread.

    Infant health is another emerging focus. Food and Drug Administration communications indicate the agency is closely monitoring certain lots of infant formula after recent reports of infant botulism cases. For caregivers, stay alert for any new advisories or recalls and always check formula batch numbers before use.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration have directed manufacturers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to update warning labels and include expanded information about myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly among young males. These updates do not change vaccine recommendations, but listeners should discuss any specific health concerns with healthcare providers.

    The FDA has also issued recommendations for the 2025-2026 influenza vaccine composition. The public is encouraged to receive this season’s flu vaccine as the primary defense against seasonal influenza. According to the ACIP, new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are now recommended for babies and people aged 50 and older, broadening protection for vulnerable groups.

    Direct Relief has announced $2 million in funding to support ten community health centers tackling respiratory health. This signals an ongoing nationwide focus on respiratory illness as we enter the cooler part of the year, a time when rates of common respiratory infections tend to rise.

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services continues to track and assess a variety of other health topics, from chemical safety risks under TSCA evaluations to ongoing Medicaid and public assistance program changes, as referenced in the Federal Register.

    Listeners are reminded to practice good hygiene, stay current with routine vaccinations, and pay close attention to updates from local and state health departments, especially if any family members are in high-risk populations. As always, if symptoms of infectious illness arise or exposure is suspected, consult a medical provider for advice and potential testing.

  • FDA Warns Parents About Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to ByHeart Formula Recall Across Multiple States
    2025/11/11
    Today, listeners across the United States should be aware of several important public health alerts and advisories pertinent to Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration report an ongoing infant botulism outbreak linked to ByHeart brand powdered infant formula. Since August, 13 infant botulism cases have been identified in 10 states—six confirmed to involve botulinum toxin type A. ByHeart Inc. has voluntarily recalled two lots of its Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. The CDC urges caregivers and parents not to feed any recalled formula to infants and to dispose of the affected product immediately. If your child shows symptoms such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness, poor sucking, altered cry, or striking loss of head control after consuming ByHeart formula, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may take up to 30 days to develop and can progress rapidly, especially in infants under two months old. Untreated, the illness may result in paralysis, difficulty breathing, hospitalization, or even death. The CDC’s official advice is not to wait for laboratory confirmation before starting treatment if infant botulism is suspected. Treatment with BabyBIG, a botulism immune globulin, should begin as quickly as possible. For more guidance, visit the FDA’s recall notice or the CDC’s botulism outbreak page.

    Several state health departments, including those in West Virginia and Hawaii, have amplified this recall, urging health care providers and clinicians to question parents about what formula brand their infants consume. Providers are also asked to be vigilant for classic symptoms of infant botulism and to report any suspected cases to their local health departments.

    In other national health policy news, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced a significant regulatory update around hormone replacement therapy for menopause. According to the FDA’s press release, black box warnings—previously indicating increased cardiovascular, breast cancer, and probable dementia risks—are being removed following a comprehensive review of clinical literature and expert consensus. These warnings were based on older studies involving women well past typical menopausal age using hormone types not common today, and contemporary evidence no longer supports the blunt application of such warnings for most menopausal women. The warning for the risk of endometrial cancer remains in place for systemic estrogen-alone therapy when not balanced by progesterone. The FDA will continue requiring tailored risk information on specific therapies, and experts advise initiating hormone therapy before age 60 for optimal safety. According to STAT News, these changes aim to correct two decades of confusion and improve access to safe symptom relief for millions of women.

    Air quality remains a concern for vulnerable groups, especially as winter approaches and people spend more time indoors. The Environmental Protection Agency reminds listeners that indoor air pollution from mold, radon, and smoke can trigger symptoms in children, seniors, and those with asthma or heart disease. Simple steps like improving ventilation and monitoring for mold or smoke exposure, especially after recent natural disasters or weather extremes, are strongly recommended by local health districts.

    There are currently no broad infectious disease outbreaks reported today that impact the general public beyond the infant formula recall. Beach and recreational water advisories remain localized and are generally safe, though residents in some areas are advised to monitor local updates for water quality after heavy rains.

    Listeners are reminded to check any baby formula against recall lists, consult with their health care providers if they have concerns, and stay updated on evolving women’s health recommendations.
