NESTLE has issued a global recall of a handful baby formula products over safety concerns
The food and beverage company said specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula may contain a toxin which can cause food poisoning.
The affected batches were sold across the world, Nestle said, and they are not safe to be fed to babies.
According to the food giant, these products potentially contain cereulide, which can cause nausea and vomiting when consumed.
While the company said there had been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the products, it clarified it was recalling them “out of an abundance of caution”.
“The safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority,” the firm said in a statement.
“We sincerely apologise for any concern or inconvenience caused to parents, caregivers, and customers.”
