Important Voluntary Recall Information
We are expanding our voluntary recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ nationwide. This action is being taken in close collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), despite the fact that no unopened ByHeart product has tested positive for Clostridium botulinum spores or toxin.
This action underscores ByHeart’s core mission: protecting babies above all else.

What Consumers Should Do:
Consumers who have purchased ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ should immediately discontinue use and dispose of the product.
A letter from our founders.
To our ByHeart family,
We are so sorry for the immense anxiety and fear that we have been causing you these past few days. As parents and as founders, that is the absolute last thing we would ever want to do.
We’re writing to you today to tell you that we have decided to voluntarily recall all ByHeart formula nationwide—this includes both our cans and our single-serve Anywhere Pack™ sticks. This decision was made to ensure your baby’s safety.
It’s important that you know that neither we, nor the FDA or CDC, have found Clostridium botulinum spores or toxins in any unopened can of ByHeart formula.
The decision to broaden our recall to all ByHeart products comes after a call with the FDA late last night, informing us that they found two more cases of infant botulism in babies that had also consumed ByHeart at some point. The FDA’s investigation into infant botulism in the U.S. is still ongoing, and we feel that there are still too many unanswered questions. Your baby’s safety is, and always will be, our biggest priority.
Upon learning about this outbreak on Friday evening, we immediately began conducting our own extensive testing on all ByHeart batches. Additionally, we are providing the FDA complete and unrestricted access to all of our facilities and products for their investigation, which has been done regularly at our owned facilities. We will share the results of our own testing as they become available.
At this moment, the most important thing for you to know is that all ByHeart product must be discarded. We know that switching formulas is not an easy process or decision. We have resources to help here.
We are so sorry, and are committed to doing anything we can to support you.
Our Parent Experience team is here to help with any of your questions—they are working 24/7. We are doing our best to reply to all of you in a timely manner, but we are a small team and may take a bit longer than our typical response times. If you think your child is experiencing symptoms of infant botulism, please seek medical attention immediately.

Our patented protein blend gets closest to breast milk.
This proprietary blend combines:
And unlike other formulas, we have it at actual breast milk levels! Bonus: It contains tryptophan—which has been shown to help babies fall asleep faster.
Alpha-lac
The #1 protein found in breast milk (and we have it at actual breast milk levels).
The protein in this early breast milk or “liquid gold” aids in iron absorption (which is a critical mineral for baby’s development).
Lactoferrin
The #1 protein found in colostrum that supports gut and immune health.
Partially hydrolyzed proteins paired with nutritious whole proteins make for a blend that’s also gentle on tummies.
Partially hydrolyzed proteins
These broken down proteins are easy to digest (which = happy tummies).
Our benefits aren’t just claimed. They’re clinically proven.
We ran one of the largest clinical trials for infant formula in 25 years—including 311 babies over 6 months. We’re also the only new brand to add a comparison to breast milk. All this allows us to understand our closeness to nature’s first recipe and all of its magical benefits.

We never skim on nutritious fats. Breast milk doesn’t skim the fat, so why would we? ByHeart is made with organic, grass-fed whole milk (not skim).
For Brain Development
Whole milk has delicious, nourishing fats like naturally-occurring MFGM—a complex blend of fats and proteins also found in breast milk. MFGM is crucial for baby’s brain development and growth (and has also been associated with a healthy microbiome).
For Easy Digestion
Whole milk has easy-to-absorb fatty acids which helps keep baby’s poops softer.
For Immune Support
Whole milk has 3.5x times the amount of beta-carotene as skim, which converts into Vitamin A—an essential vitamin for a strong immune system.

Our mission is to make the best formula on earth. We believe formula is the most important food for the most important people. And we’ve built our company to deliver on that belief, in every way.
Babies and their parents love ByHeart.
I switched my daughter from exclusively breastfeeding to combo feeding with this formula and it has been such a great switch. It was super easy to acclimate her to the formula.”
Ashley, Jan 2024
With ByHeart, I don’t feel like I’m having to compromise with her nutrition. She’s a happy, healthy, thriving little baby and she LOVES her ByHeart bottles!”
Alexis, Jan 2024
I tell all my patients who are considering changing to formula to look into the ingredients, small batch production, and benefits of ByHeart!”
Lauren, Feb 2024
I love your formula for my little guy! I wanted desperately to breast feed, when demands of life got too hard and I couldn't do it, I was just crushed. This formula makes me feel GOOD about what I'm giving my son!”
Bailey, May 2024
My goal was originally to solely breastfeed my baby for at least 6 months, but my supply dwindled earlier than expected. Then I found ByHeart which has whole milk instead of skim milk and it worked much better for him.”
Myrna, Jan 2024
