US EditionSFA recalls two more batches of infant formula products due to presence of toxin
- On Jan 30, the Singapore Food Agency recalled two Dumex Dulac batches after tests detected cereulide, involving batch 101575737 and batch 101570779, both expiring Sep 5, 2027.
- Experts say cereulide forms when Bacillus cereus spores germinate under specific conditions and can dissolve in ARA oil, prompting investigations into an unidentified third-party supplier.
- Health officials note cereulide typically causes rapid vomiting within 30 minutes to six hours, with three affected individuals as of Jan 29 showing mild symptoms and all recovered, while medical practitioners advise against feeding affected batches and recommend seeking medical advice if unwell.
- The recalls represent about 5 per cent of imported infant formula supply, tightening availability, while SFA and CDA conduct surveillance with medical practitioners to monitor potential cases.
- Major manufacturers including Nestlé, Danone and Lactalis are implicated in wider recalls, elevating international concern as South Korean parenting communities focus on Aptamil amid tracing challenges involving an unidentified third‑party ARA oil supplier from China sold by a Dutch company.
