We’re aware of recent international precautionary recalls affecting some infant formula products, linked to a specific ARA (arachidonic acid) ingredient referenced in media reports.
After an immediate review of our ingredient traceability and quality data, we can confirm:
1. Little Étoile products are NOT affected.
2. Our ARA is sourced from Nu-Mega Ingredients, a trusted Australian supplier, completely independent of the supplier involved in the international recalls.
3. Every batch of Little Étoile finished product is tested for Bacillus cereus prior to release, in line with stringent food safety requirements.
As the infant nutrition brand of Max Biocare, Little Étoile products are developed and released under pharmaceutical-quality principles, with robust supplier qualification, traceability, and batch-by-batch testing. We continue to monitor updates from food safety authorities and the scientific community and will act and communicate promptly as required.
