Nestle recalls some baby formula products over toxin fears
Nestle's voluntary recall affects over 800 infant formula products globally due to potential cereulide toxin contamination from a supplier's ingredient, with no illnesses reported so far.
- Nestle recalled specific SMA infant formula batches as a precaution over possible cereulide contamination, with the Food Standards Agency publicising the recall on January 5, 2026 in the UK and Ireland.
- Testing of arachidonic acid oil revealed a quality issue from a leading supplier, and Nestle said it has tested all ARA oils and related mixes to identify impacted products.
- The Food Standards Agency warned that cereulide from Bacillus Cereus is heat-resistant and can cause rapid vomiting and stomach cramps, and Jane Rawling, head of incidents at the FSA, advised contacting GPs and NHS 111 with concerns.
- Nestle is removing affected retail stock from sale and customers who bought impacted items are urged to contact Nestle for refunds while the company works to minimise supply chain disruption.
- Recalled products include several SMA lines, and consumers should check batch codes on tins or boxes and consult the Food Standards Agency website or Nestle website, while Nestle called the recall a precautionary measure.
