Greece’s National Organization for Medicines (EOF) has issued an urgent warning about an infant formula linked to cases of botulism in the United States and sold online, including through Amazon.
The product, ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, has been associated with several incidents of infant botulism in the U.S., according to information relayed to the EOF by the Greek Food Authority (EFET). Because the formula is available through international e-commerce platforms, authorities caution that it may also reach consumers in Greece.
The EOF is urging the public not to purchase or use the formula under any circumstances and to immediately notify the agency if they come into possession of any batch. The organization stresses that buying health-related products from unreliable sources—particularly online—can pose serious risks.
