US EditionKendamil baby formula sold at Costco recalled due to concerns about toxin
The recall affects 1,049 gram tins made in May 2025 due to a heat-stable toxin linked to gastrointestinal illness, with no reported sickness so far, officials said.
- Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled one-kilogram Kendamil brand infant formula sold at Costco Warehouse locations across Canada and online sales over cereulide contamination concerns.
- Kendal Nutricare said cereulide was recently linked to arachidonic acid oil, and during a short supply disruption it used a different oil supplier for two batches produced in May 2025 with codes 897274 and 888632, noting European guidance differs from Health Canada.
- Cereulide is produced by some Bacillus cereus strains and is heat-stable, causing symptoms within 30 minutes; the Canadian Food Inspection Agency advised consumers to throw out or return recalled products.
- Recalled tins come in 1,049 gram packages with a best-before date May 1, 2027, and parents and caregivers should contact a healthcare provider if their child becomes sick.
- CFIA says no one has reported getting sick and the recall followed action in another country while Nestlé and Danone recently issued related recalls; this report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 23, 2025.
