Overview

  • ANMAT and Nestlé launched a voluntary, preventive withdrawal of specific lots of Nestlé NAN Optipro 1 c/HMO (400 g and 800 g) and a single Nestlé Alfamino 400 g lot.
  • Nestlé detected that a raw material may contain cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus that can trigger emetic or diarrheal illness in infants.
  • Provincial health authorities are coordinating nationwide removal of the listed lots, with distribution confirmed in multiple areas including Santa Fe.
  • Consumers are urged to verify lot numbers, stop using affected products, and contact Nestlé at 0800-999-8100 or via company channels to arrange returns or replacements; retailers must pull the stock.
  • The affected Alfamino item is lot 51690017Y1, and Nestlé says other formulas and unaffected lots are safe, with related precautionary withdrawals and a lot-checking tool available in Europe.
