FDA and CDC Provide Update on Infant Botulism Cases Linked to Infant Formula (Nov 20, 2025)

FDA and CDC provided an update (Nov 20, 2025) on the investigation into infant botulism cases liked to infant formula.   As of November 20, 2025, there had been 31 reported cases with no reported deaths.

One issue of concern as stated in the FDA update was that product was still available for sale by some retailers.  Another concern was that some product was being sold online and shipped overseas where these people may not have been made aware.

The organism was found in the infant formula although its source had not yet been identified.  "As part of the investigation, ByHeart tested unopened infant formula products retained at its facility. According to ByHeart, third party laboratory analysis of some of these samples identified Clostridium botulinum, which produces the toxin that is making infants sick in this outbreak. ByHeart states that it will continue to investigate these findings and perform ongoing testing to identify the source of contamination."

Prime Food Processing LLC of Brooklyn, NY is voluntarily recalling 2,243 cases of two dessert bun varieties because the packaging does not declare milk in the “Contains” allergen statement as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Imported Strawberry Jam Recalled for Containing an Unapproved Color

Mangalm LLC of Newark, California, United States of America is recalling all /Tops Mixed Fruit Jam and Tops Strawberry Jam Products, because it contains carmoisine, (also know as FDA Red #10 and Azorubine.  It is designated E-122 in the EU) which is an unapproved color additive in the US.    The issue was discovered during an FDA inspection.  This product was imported from India, where the color is approved for use.

In an FDA background document:

Azorubine (carmoisine): This color was listed in 1939 as Ext. D&C Red No. 10 for

use in externally applied drugs and cosmetics and provisionally listed for these uses

in 1960, but was delisted in 1963 because no party was interested in supporting the

studies needed to establish safety. This color additive has never been approved by

FDA for use in food.

The color is approved for use in the EU, but must have a warning on the label indicating that  E122 could potentially increase symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.

Ohio Firm Recalls Mis-Formulated Ice Cream Bars with Allergen Concern

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Columbus, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling one batch of Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars because they may contain undeclared wheat and soy.  The recall was initiated after a crunch topping from a separate product was inadvertently introduced to this particular batch of Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars during manufacturing. The crunch topping contains wheat and soy, which is not declared on the packaging.

This is a case of mis-formulation with a post-process addition of the crunch topping containing the allergens. (The added allergens are bad enough, but nobody wants a crunch topping on their smooth-tasting passion fruit dreamsicle.  Just wrong.)

This product was distributed in grocery stores nationwide.  No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.

Congress Restricts Use of THC in Food

Over the past few years, we have seen a number of food products containing THC, especially beverages and gummies.  These products came about from a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill that "that allowed hemp-derived products containing tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC to be sold."

Congress decided to close this loophole and enacts stricter rules for hemp specifically a much lower limit for THC, the chemical that gives marijuana its psychological effects.  The bill will ban any products with more than 0.4 milligrams of THC.

New law puts familiar drinks, creams and gummies in legal limbo
The provision closes a loophole that allowed hemp-derived products containing THC to be sold. Even products not marketed for their THC content may face legal problems.

The legislation to reopen the government also included strict new rules for hemp products that critics say threaten to outlaw mainstream drinks, creams, gummies, oils and vapes.
