"The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has advised the Irish public that Danone is recalling specific batches of its formulas because of the potential presence of cereulide. The implicated products were manufactured in Ireland, but the FSAI said it had been notified by Danone that none of the implicated products have been distributed in the country. However, the products have been exported to a number of EU countries, the UK and third countries."
"An ingredient, ARA oil, which was manufactured in China, was contaminated with cereulide and added as an ingredient in base powder used to make infant formula and follow-on formula. Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of the bacterium Bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning. This recall is associated with a contaminated raw ingredient which was also implicated in the recent recall of some batches of infant formula and follow-on formula by Nestle in its SMA product line earlier this month."
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) notified that Danone is recalling specific batches of formula because of possible cereulide contamination. The implicated products were manufactured in Ireland but have not been distributed within Ireland; exports include several EU countries, the UK and other third countries. The FSAI has informed the European Commission. ARA oil produced in China was contaminated with cereulide and was used in base powder for infant and follow-on formulas. Cereulide is a toxin from Bacillus cereus that can cause food poisoning. The recall is linked to the same contaminated raw ingredient implicated in a recent Nestle SMA recall. Irish regulators continue to engage with Danone to ensure consumer protection and food safety measures.
