On December 10-11, 2025, several European countries advised the public that Nestlé had recalled multiple infant formula products due to the presence of cereulide toxin, a heat-stable toxin produced by Bacillus cereus. Additional countries chimed in starting on January 5, 2026.
The recalled products originated in the Netherlands, and were distributed to more than sixty countries on six continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
Following is a list of the affected countries, including live links to recall notices, where available. As of January 6th, none of the recalled products had been distributed to the United States or Canada.
The recall encompasses multiple products sold under the SMA, Alfamino, BEBA, GUIGOZ, LACTOGEN, NAN, Nestlé, and NIDAL brand names (depending on the country in which the producs were sold). Multiple batch codes with expiry dates ranging from April 2027 to November 2027 are covered in the recall notices.
Please check the recall notice for the country where you live, or contact your retailer to determine whether the products you purchased are included in this recall.
