CDC Warns of Measles Outbreak, Infant Formula Recall, and Emerging Health Risks Across United States


Listen Later

Public health officials are closely monitoring several key alerts for listeners in the United States as of November 25, 2025. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, continues to advise vigilance surrounding a multi-state outbreak of measles, with confirmed cases in Utah, South Carolina, Arizona, and Minnesota. Listeners are reminded that measles is extremely contagious. The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend ensuring all eligible individuals, especially children, receive the measles, mumps, and rubella or MMR vaccine as scheduled. Reports from ProMED Mail highlight the ongoing nature of these outbreaks, with more cases expected in under-vaccinated populations.

There is also extra attention on infant botulism linked to ByHeart infant formula. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and California Department of Public Health are investigating several cases involving infants who consumed ByHeart formula. While a definitive link has not been established, parents and caregivers are urged to immediately stop using any ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, regardless of lot number or size. For specific guidance and safe alternatives, consult your child’s health care provider or visit the FDA’s website for recall updates.

There is significant debate and public concern over recent changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website that suggest a possible link between vaccines and autism. According to KFF Health News and reports from MedPage Today, this revised language contradicts decades of scientific evidence. The American Medical Association and many other leading medical groups warn this shift could undermine public confidence in vaccination, placing children at risk during ongoing outbreaks of measles and other preventable diseases. The CDC and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have faced criticism for spreading what major advocates and public health professionals call misinformation.

Washington state recently reported the nation’s first human infection and death from the H5N5 avian influenza strain, previously only found in animals. According to The Washington Post and state health officials, the affected individual was an older adult with pre-existing conditions, and there is no evidence of wider risk to the public at this time, but listeners should heed updates from their state or local health department, especially if in high-risk groups or exposed to poultry.

Listeners should also take note of a food safety recall involving Boar’s Head Pecorino Romano cheese sold by Supreme Deli LLC due to possible contamination risks. If you have purchased this cheese recently, stop consuming it and return it to the place of purchase. The FDA’s recall page has the most up-to-date information.

Respiratory illnesses remain a concern as flu vaccination rates are lower than usual. Several state departments of health, including Wisconsin’s, are tracking rising activity of respiratory viruses. If you have not received your flu shot, it is strongly recommended, especially for young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

There is growing attention on a liver condition known as metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, now recognized as one of the most common liver diseases in the United States. Many people may be affected without symptoms. Listeners should be aware of this risk, particularly if they have diabetes, obesity, or other metabolic conditions.

Finally, a reminder to stay tuned for advisories on foodborne illness, chronic wasting disease risks, and other emerging health issues. Public health experts emphasize vigilance, staying informed on local advisories, and practicing good hygiene, including frequent hand washing and food safety protocols at home.
