Nestle Formula Recalled Over Food Poisoning Risk

Nestle has initiated a recall of specific infant and follow-on formula products in the UK following the detection of a quality issue with a key ingredient. Concerns have been raised that certain batches of SMA formula may contain the cereulide toxin, a substance produced by food poisoning bacteria that can lead to symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

The company stated that the issue stemmed from an ingredient supplied by a leading provider. Although no illnesses have been confirmed to date in connection with these products, Nestle is voluntarily recalling affected batches as a precautionary measure. The Food Standards Agency has advised parents and caregivers to stop using the recalled products and to seek medical advice if they have concerns about their child's health.

Nestle has apologised for the inconvenience and is working with UK authorities to ensure the safe removal of these products from sale. The company assures parents and caregivers of its commitment to safeguarding the health and well-being of infants and is also focused on minimising any potential supply disruptions during this recall process.
