Danone Recalls Infant Formula Batches Due to Toxin Contamination
Danone recalled over 90 batches of infant formula in Austria due to cereulide toxin risk, following new European Food Safety Authority limits, urging returns and refunds.
- Danone recalled specific batches of Aptamil and Milumil baby formula in Austria, coordinated with AGES, covering more than 80 Aptamil and 11 Milumil batches.
- Danone said it launched the recall 'against the background of updated recommendations' after the European Food Safety Authority set new maximum levels earlier this week, citing possible cereulide contamination.
- The recall targets specific product lines including Aptamil Pronutra Pre and eight batches of Milumil Pre 800g plus three batches of Milumil 1 800g.
- Parents and caretakers are advised not to use affected batches and to return them to retailers in Austria, with Danone offering refunds even without a receipt.
- Health officials warned that the contaminant is heat-stable, with the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety noting cereulide causes vomiting and diarrhoea within 30 minutes to six hours and some batches involved cross-border trade with Germany.
