NZ's A2 Milk Recalls US Infant Milk Formula Batches over Cereulide Presence
The company said 63,078 tins were affected and 16,428 were sold to consumers after testing found cereulide, a heat-stable toxin linked to Bacillus cereus.
- The a2 Milk Company voluntarily recalled three batches of its a2 Platinum Premium USA infant formula due to the presence of cereulide, a heat-stable toxin produced by Bacillus cereus bacteria.
- New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries issued updated guidance on April 15, prompting the a2 Milk Company to conduct additional testing that detected cereulide in an ingredient called arachidonic acid .
- The recall involves 63,078 total units, with 16,428 tins sold to consumers before the product was discontinued on December 31st, 2025. Distribution occurred through the company's website, Amazon, and Meijer stores.
- Although no confirmed illnesses have been reported, consumers must immediately stop using the formula and dispose of it, as preparing it with hot water does not eliminate the heat-stable toxin.
- This recall follows similar cereulide detections by Nestle, Danone, and Lactalis early this year, while supplier Synlait is assisting the a2 Milk Company with the ongoing root cause investigation.
