Mexico Orders Recall of Specific Nestlé Infant-Formula Lots as Global Precaution Widens

Mexico’s health regulator acted after a supplier ingredient was flagged for possible cereulide contamination.

Overview

  • Cofepris directed a preventive market withdrawal of four 400 g lots of NAN Alfamino and Alfamino: 52030017Y2, 52040017Y1, 51060017Y2, and 51070017Y1, with expiries in April and July 2027.
  • Authorities urged consumers to stop using the listed lots, avoid new purchases, seek medical advice if symptoms occur, and contact Nestlé México for returns.
  • Nestlé said the action follows quality issues linked to a supplier ingredient associated with Bacillus cereus toxin cereulide and confirmed ongoing testing and voluntary withdrawals.
  • Regulatory alerts and targeted recalls now span roughly 36–37 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with no confirmed illness cases reported to date.
  • Reports note short-term pressure on Nestlé’s business and leadership, with shares down about 4.5% to 5.7% this week as markets assess potential supply disruptions.
