Nestle Recalls baby formula batches over toxin fears
Cereulide is highly heat-resistant, and unlikely to be destroyed by cooking, boiling water, or being made into baby formula.
Batches of baby formula are being recalled due to the risk of a toxin that causes nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.
Nestle is recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula due to the potential presence of cereulide.
The toxin is highly heat-resistant, and unlikely to be destroyed by cooking, boiling water, or being made into baby formula, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
Once consumed, it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, the agency said.

In a recall notice, Nestle said the step was a “precautionary measure” and that “the safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority”.
The notice continued: “There have been no confirmed reports of any illness associated with consumption of the products concerned.
“Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, Nestle has decided to perform this voluntary product recall in line with our strict product quality and safety protocols.
“Consumers who may have these batches should not feed this product to their baby.”
The notice added: “We understand that this news may cause concern for parents, and we sincerely apologise for any concern or inconvenience caused to parents, caregivers, and customers.”
The affected products were on sale in the UK and Ireland, with the specific batch numbers listed on the FSA and Nestle websites.
Batch codes can be found on the base of the tin or box for powdered formulas, or on the base of the outer box and on the container for ready-made formulas.
Customers who bought an affected item are encouraged to contact Nestle for a refund
