A batch of infant formula sold across the United States has been recalled after tests identified a toxin linked to foodborne illness. The product, intended for babies up to 12 months old, was distributed online and in retail stores.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) introduced bipartisan legislation to help prevent future infant formula shortages. Peters’ bill comes in response to the bacterial contaminations at an infant formula manufacturing plant in Michigan that caused the deaths of nine infants and infant formula recalls that triggered a nationwide shortage in 2022.
