Nestlé Recalls Some Baby Formula Products in Europe Over Toxin Concern
Product recalls for brands SMA, BEBA, Alfamino, and Nan have gone out across Europe, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Switzerland.
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.
