Overview

  • The recall covers Nestlé NAN Optipro 1 with HMO (400 g and 800 g) and one imported Alfamino 400 g lot, with affected lot numbers and expiration dates published by ANMAT.
  • Health authorities are coordinating with provincial teams to remove the products from sale nationwide and urge families not to use the listed lots.
  • Retailers and distributors were instructed to halt sales immediately and coordinate returns, while Nestlé offers a consumer hotline and email for assistance.
  • Nestlé reports no confirmed illnesses to date linked to these lots, with precautionary withdrawals of the same batches also reported in several European countries.
  • Bacillus cereus can produce cereulide, which may cause rapid vomiting or later diarrheal illness, a particular concern for infants due to dehydration risk.
