Nestle recalls infant formula in several European countries

""Nestle has undertaken testing of all arachidonic acid oil and corresponding oil mixes used in the production of potentially impacted infant nutrition products," it said on its website. "No illnesses have been confirmed in connection with the products involved to date." Nestle said it was in contact with authorities in the relevant countries "to ensure the necessary steps are taken"."

"Nestle France said it was carrying out a "preventive and voluntary recall" of certain batches of its Guigoz and Nidal infant formulas after new investigations showed the potential presence of cereulide, a toxin that can cause digestive issues. The company posted pictures on local versions of its website showing the batch numbers of affected products, which are sold under different names. In Germany they are called Beba and Alfamino."

Nestlé recalled batches of infant formula across several European countries, including France, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy and Sweden, after detecting a quality issue in an ingredient from a major supplier. The company identified concerns related to arachidonic acid oil and tested all such oils and mixes used in affected products. No illnesses have been confirmed to date. Nestlé is coordinating with national authorities and has implemented precautionary measures, including preventive and voluntary recalls of specific Guigoz, Nidal, Beba and Alfamino batches. The company provided return and refund instructions and a consumer phone number for questions.
