Nestlé Issues Global Baby Formula Recall Over Toxin Risk as Regulators Halt Sales

A supplier ingredient issue prompted precautionary batch recalls in 37 countries, with no confirmed illnesses reported.

Overview

  • Singapore’s food regulator ordered a stop to sales of five Switzerland‑made NAN SupremePro batches and began hospital surveillance for potential cases while investigations proceed.
  • UK authorities said Nestlé updated the recall details by revising some best‑before dates for SMA products, and the Food Standards Agency urged caregivers to stop using listed batches and seek refunds.
  • South Africa’s National Consumer Commission recalled NAN Special Pro HA Infant Formula batch 51660742F3 distributed nationally and to Namibia and Eswatini, advising returns for full refunds.
  • Middle East regulators, including the UAE’s Emirates Drug Establishment, quarantined affected NAN, S‑26/Isomil Ultima, and Alfamino stocks and coordinated removals from retail channels, with no illnesses reported.
  • Nestlé linked the issue to non‑compliant ARA oil from a third‑party supplier, said it is testing all ARA oils, coordinating with authorities, activating alternative suppliers, and recalled products sold under SMA, NAN, BEBA and Alfamino brands.
