"Nestlé has launched a precautionary recall of several batches of infant formula sold in Germany after traces of a bacterial toxin were detected in one ingredient supplied to the manufacturer. The recall affects specific batches of BEBA, BEBA expert HA, BEBA expert Comfort+, BEBA supreme, BEBA AR, and ALFAMINO baby formula products that were also available on the German market, according to a statement by Nestlé Germany."
"Why were the products recalled? The recall was initiated after tests detected possible traces of the toxin cereulide in one ingredient used in the affected products, according to Nestlé Germany. Cereulide is a toxin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus. While the microorganism is relatively common in the environment, cereulide itself has no place in infant food products, even in extremely small quantities."
"Nestlé Germany stated that the concentrations detected in the affected batches were so low that they do not pose a health risk. The recall was issued as a precautionary measure in line with strict food safety standards. According to Nestlé Germany, there is no known health risk to infants from the affected products and no illnesses or symptoms linked to the recalled formula have been reported, either in Germany or internationally."
Several specific batches of BEBA, BEBA expert HA, BEBA expert Comfort+, BEBA supreme, BEBA AR, and ALFAMINO infant formula were recalled in Germany. The recall followed tests that detected possible traces of the toxin cereulide in one ingredient supplied to Nestlé. Cereulide is produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus and is unacceptable in infant food even at extremely small quantities. Nestlé Germany said the detected concentrations were so low that they do not pose a health risk. All affected items have been withdrawn from shops and are no longer available for purchase. Parents were advised not to feed the affected products to their children.
