⚠️FDA Nationwide Infant Formula Recall Alert ⚠️

ByHeart Inc. has expanded its voluntary recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula (24 oz cans) and Anywhere Pack™ (0.6 oz packets) due to a potential risk of foodborne illness (Clostridium botulinum).

👶 What to do:
• Immediately stop using and dispose of any ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula or Anywhere Pack™ products.
• If your baby shows symptoms such as constipation, weak cry, poor feeding, drooping eyelids, or breathing difficulty, seek medical attention immediately.
