Tue, 06 Jan 2026 Nestle recalls some baby formula products over toxin fears

Nestle said it had received no reports of problems and was recalling the products "out of an abundance of caution".

* Nestle has recalled certain batches of SMA infant formula and follow-on formula due to potential contamination with cereulide, a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting.
* The company says there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the products but is recalling them "out of an abundance of caution".
* Cereulide is produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus bacteria and cannot be deactivated or destroyed by cooking or boiling water.
* Affected customers will receive refunds, and batch numbers can be found on Nestle's website or through food.gov.uk.
* Parents are advised not to feed infants or young children the affected products and to seek medical advice if they have any concerns.
