Mum Demands Probe After Son's Illness

A mother has called for a comprehensive investigation into SMA infant formula after her three-month-old son fell gravely ill. The baby was hospitalised with symptoms that developed into meningitis, including vomiting, diarrhoea, and severe pain, after consuming specific recalled batches of the product. The formula, produced by Nestle, was recalled globally due to the potential presence of the cereulide toxin.

Nestle stated the recall was a precautionary measure following the detection of a quality issue with an ingredient from a key supplier. The company has emphasized that no illnesses have been confirmed in connection with the recalled products to date. However, the distressed mother is seeking clarity on the cause of her son's severe illness, highlighting his alarming symptoms.

The UK's Health and Standards Agency has notified clinicians about the recall, reiterating that there are no confirmed cases. They noted that symptoms can resemble common winter viruses but committed to continued testing for individuals where appropriate. The mother remains concerned, seeking a full understanding of the events that led to her baby's critical condition.
