US EditionNestlé Baby Formula Recall: Factories Run 24 Hours to Avert Shortages
Nestlé operates five European factories nonstop to meet demand after a contamination recall affecting over 60 countries and hundreds of batches, focusing on infants under one year.
- On Feb 13, Nestlé confirmed it is running five factories in France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands 24 hours a day to boost infant-formula availability as production runs at full capacity.
- It started after Nestlé discovered bacteria producing the cereulide toxin at a factory, prompting the industry’s largest recall traced to a shared third-party supplier.
- Paediatricians warned that infants under the age of one rely on breast milk or formula as sole nutrition, with UK health chiefs noting 36 reports linked to recalls of 12 SMA and one Aptamil batch.
- Several producers say they have not seen signs of a shortage and are maintaining output, while DMK and Hochdorf keep production steady, and analysts say Europe’s boost should prevent US-style shortages.
- Companies confirmed Danone and Nestlé stopped using the affected supplier and China’s market regulator ordered cereulide testing as French authorities investigate possible infant deaths.
