GDA’s Food Safety team members are conducting visits at Target Retailers and distribution centers across Georgia to ensure this product is no longer available for sale on store shelves. 

Infant botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness that presents a serious threat to the health of infants which occurs when Clostridium botulinum spores are ingested and colonize the intestinal tract, producing botulinum neurotoxins in the immature gut of infants. Affected infants can present with some or all of the following signs and symptoms: constipation, poor feeding, ptosis (drooping eyelid), sluggish pupils, low muscle tone, difficulty sucking and swallowing, weak or altered cry, generalized weakness, respiratory difficulty, and possibly respiratory arrest.  Infants experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately. To report an illness, contact the Georgia Department of Public Health at 1-866-PUB-HLTH (1-866-782-4584).  

Nara will automatically refund all consumers who purchased formula from their website in May and June 2026. Other customers with unused product may request a refund by taking a photo of the bottom of each can and completing the refund form here:
