Infant Botulism Outbreak Hotline

Infant Botulism
Infant botulism is the form of botulism which results when swallowed spores of a particular bacterium (Clostridium botulinum) colonize a baby’s large intestine and produce botulinum toxin in it. Botulinum toxin causes muscle weakness because it blocks the nerve ending’s ability to communicate with muscles. If left untreated, the condition can lead to respiratory failure and even death.
Public Health Investigation
CDPH helped identify an outbreak of infant botulism linked to ByHeart Infant Formula. State public health officials are working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other states to investigate the outbreak. The U.S. Food and Drug Branch announced that ByHeart had initiated a nationwide recall of all of its infant formula product.
CDPH and federal officials have recommended that anyone with ByHeart infant formula stop using it immediately and report any signs s of infant botulism to their health care provider as soon as possible.
