"The company said it was voluntarily recalling the products, which include batches of its SMA, BEBA and NAN infant formulas, as a "precautionary measure" because of the possible presence of a chemical called cereulide in those batches. Cereulide is a toxin caused by a certain strain of bacteria that can cause food poisoning and result in severe vomiting and nausea for up to 24 hours, according to Ireland's food inspection agency, one of the countries affected by the recall."
"With testing complete, Nestle says they are using alternative suppliers to ramp up production in an effort to maintain supply of formula. Nestle, which makes products ranging from KitKat chocolate bars to Nescafe instant coffee, said late on Monday that no illnesses had been confirmed in connection with the recalled products. The recall applies to a number of countries, Turkey, Argentina, the U.K., Ireland and other European nations."
Nestle voluntarily recalled certain batches of SMA, BEBA and NAN infant formulas as a precaution due to possible presence of cereulide. Cereulide is a toxin produced by a bacterial strain that can cause food poisoning, severe vomiting and nausea for up to 24 hours, and may be pre-formed and extremely heat resistant. Nestle tested products after detecting a quality issue in a supplier ingredient and, after testing, switched to alternative suppliers to ramp up production and maintain formula supply. No illnesses have been confirmed in connection with the recalled products. The recall affects several countries but does not apply to products in Canada.
