"Nestle has announced a widespread recall of several key infant nutrition products across Europe, including its SMA, BEBA, and NAN infant and follow-on formulas. The move comes amid concerns over potential contamination with a toxin that could induce nausea and vomiting in infants. The recall, which began on a smaller scale in December, affects products sold in Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, and Britain."
"A quality issue was identified in an ingredient from a leading supplier, prompting Nestle to test all arachidonic acid oil and corresponding oil mixes used in its potentially impacted infant nutrition products, a spokesperson confirmed. The potential risk was traced to one of its factories in the Netherlands. The toxin in question, cereulide, is produced by certain strains of the Bacillus cereus bacterium."
