Nestlé on Jan. 5 recalled dozens of batches of its baby and follow-on formula brands across Europe over food safety concerns, warning the products could contain a toxin that can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.
In a statement published on Nestlé’s website, the company told customers in the UK and Ireland that the recall was due to the potential presence of the toxin cereulide in certain batches.
