Based on FDA recall #F-0460-2021 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-0460-2021%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The presence of a foreign object in the bottle poses a choking or ingestion hazard to infants who are drinking the milk. The record does not specify the nature of the object, but its presence in food intended for babies is considered unsafe.

Who’s affected

Parents or caregivers in Utah (specifically Salt Lake and Utah counties) who purchased this specific donor milk between April 2021 and its expiration date of September 1, 2021. Infants consuming these bottles are at risk of ingesting the foreign object.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for 3 fluid ounce BPA-free plastic bottles embossed with "Donor Human Milk" and graduation marks. Look for a unique identifier label containing Batch IDs 000955-1, 000955-2, 000955-3, or 000955-4, all of which have an expiration date of 9/1/2021.
