ByHeart baby formula recalled in Canada as infant botulism cases in U.S. climb

Canadian officials are warning the public not to consume recalled ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula because it may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum tied to infant illnesses in the U.S.

Infant botulism, which can cause paralysis and death, is caused by a type of bacteria that forms spores that germinate in a baby's gut and produce a toxin.
