⚠️New product recalls: Aptamil and Cow & Gate first infant milk and follow-on milk.

Danone is recalling several Aptamil and Cow & Gate infant formula and follow-on milk products because cereulide toxin may be present in some batches.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It's unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.
Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products. If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

Nestlé is recalling specific batches of 11 different formula milk products due to potential contamination with bacillus cereus. The recall notice says there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with consuming the products, and that people who may have bought these batches should not feed them to their baby.

If you’re using infant formula to feed your baby, swapping to a different brand is fine. If you’re using a specialised formula, please consult a health professional about a suitable alternative.

The recall notice says a refund will be issued if you’ve purchased one of the affected batches - how to do this is in the comments. The product batch code can be found on the base of the tin or box for powdered formulas, or the base of the outer box and on the side / top of the container for ready-to-feed formulas.

Nestlé has taken the precautionary step of recalling several SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula because they may contain cereulide toxin.
