Pregnancy: A Comprehensive Guide
Pregnancy is a distinctive journey shaped by physical, emotional, and practical changes.
What happened in the category?
Several markets and brands were impacted with a quality issue with one of the ingredients used in a small number of infant formula batches.
A small amount of an ingredient used in some batches contained a substance called cereulide, which can sometimes form naturally in certain food ingredients.
Is Nestlé the only company affected?
We understand parents may worry this is a brand‑specific problem. It is not.
Cereulide is a substance that can be produced by certain bacteria. It can cause temporary stomach upset, such as vomiting.
Bacillus cereus is a very common microorganism found in the environment and in many foods. Most strains are completely harmless.
Was Bacillus cereus bacteria found in the products?
No. No bacteria were found in the ingredient or in the finished products.
Were all recalled batches contaminated?
No. We recalled any batch that could possibly have been affected, even if we did not detect cereulide in it. This is part of our zero‑tolerance approach to keep babies safe.
What should I do if I have a recalled product?
We know it can be upsetting to learn that a product you trusted is part of a recall.
Please stop using it immediately and do not feed it to your baby.
I already fed my baby this formula. Should I be worried?
We understand how worrying this situation can feel for parents. Please stop using it immediately and do not feed it to your baby.
My baby consumed the product 6 hours ago and shows no symptoms. Am I safe?
Symptoms related to cereulide, if they happen, usually appear within 30 minutes to 6 hours.
If your baby has passed that time window without symptoms, there is no cause for concern.
My baby has consumed more than one can. Does this increase the risk?
We know this question often comes from a place of real worry.
If your baby shows no symptoms, there is no cause for concern.
