Nestlé Recalls SMA Formula Over Toxin Risk

Nestlé has issued a voluntary recall for certain batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on milk. The recall is a precautionary measure prompted by the potential presence of cereulide, a toxin known to cause symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. The safety and well-being of babies are Nestlé's top priorities.

Consumers who have purchased the affected batches are strongly advised against feeding them to their babies. To obtain a refund, customers can submit a photo of the product and its batch code via the Nestlé website or by calling a dedicated helpline. For those who have already administered the formula and have concerns, seeking advice from a healthcare professional or calling NHS 111 is recommended.

Cereulide is noted to be highly heat-stable, meaning standard preparation methods like boiling water are unlikely to neutralize it. Nestlé assures customers that all other products are safe and apologizes for any distress caused. Batch codes for identification are located on the product packaging.
