Urgent warning as food giant recalls baby formula products over food poisoning toxin
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Nestle has recalled several baby formula products due to concerns they may contain a food poisoning toxin. Specific batches of its SMA infant and follow-on formulas were deemed unsafe for infants, the company confirmed. The FSA warned that affected batches may contain cereulide toxin, causing nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Nestle apologised to customers, confirming no related illnesses have been reported. The issue, it stated, stemmed from an ingredient from a leading supplier."
"FSA's advice is that parents, guardians and caregivers should not feed infants or young children with these products. Cereulide is a toxin produced by food poisoning bacteria Bacillus cereus, and can cause food poisoning symptoms which can be quick to develop and include vomiting and stomach cramps. I want to reassure parents, guardians and caregivers that we are taking urgent action, helping to ensure all of the affected product is removed from sale as a precaution."
