Overview
- The recall covers the UK, Ireland and several European markets, with full batch codes and best‑before dates published by the FSA and FSAI.
- No confirmed illnesses have been reported to date, and Nestlé describes the move as a precaution.
- Nestlé links the issue to arachidonic acid (ARA) oil from a supplier and has begun targeted testing of implicated oils and mixes.
- Cereulide is highly heat‑stable and can cause rapid‑onset nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps, so preparation or heating will not render affected formula safe.
- Refunds are available via Nestlé’s website or carelines, point‑of‑sale notices are being displayed, and caregivers using prescribed products are advised to seek alternatives from healthcare professionals.
