Nestlé Recalls Specific SMA Baby Formula Batches Over Possible Cereulide Contamination

The precaution follows testing of supplier-sourced ARA oil linked to the risk.

Overview

  • Food agencies in the UK, Ireland and several European countries published batch lists and urged parents not to use the identified products.
  • Officials warn cereulide is highly heat‑stable and can quickly cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps if present.
  • Nestlé and regulators report no confirmed illnesses to date connected with the recalled batches.
  • Caregivers can check batch codes on tins and request refunds via Nestlé’s website or careline, and those using prescribed formula should consult a clinician before switching.
  • Nestlé is testing all arachidonic acid (ARA) oil and related mixes and working with the supplier on a root‑cause analysis, while regulators continue oversight and reports on the recall’s overall size remain unverified.
