Argentina Recalls Nestlé Infant Formula Lots Over Possible Cereulide Toxin

Officials attribute the precaution to a suspect ingredient from an external supplier.

Overview

  • ANMAT and Nestlé Argentina launched a voluntary, preventive withdrawal of specific lots of NAN Optipro 1 with HMO (400 g and 800 g) and one Alfamino 400 g import lot due to a possible cereulide toxin risk.
  • Regulators published affected lot numbers and expiration dates and advised consumers and retailers to stop use and sales while checking labels against official lists.
  • Nestlé reports no confirmed illnesses linked to the Argentine lots to date and directs customers to its consumer service for returns or replacements by phone and email.
  • ANMAT is coordinating removal nationwide with provincial health authorities, with alerts amplified in jurisdictions such as Santa Fe, Mendoza and Córdoba.
  • The issue has international scope as Spain’s AESAN reported related preventive withdrawals and additional lot checks in Europe connected to the same supplier-linked concern.
