Recall of additional batch of SMA baby formula
Nestlé recalled an additional batch of SMA infant milk due to cereulide toxin contamination from ARA oil, following European Food Safety Authority guidance.
- On Tuesday, Nestlé extended its recall in Ireland to include SMA First Infant Milk 800g, batch code 53390346AB, expiry December 2027, with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland warning against its use.
- ARA oil made in China was found to be contaminated with cereulide, and European Food Safety Authority testing showed the batch was non-compliant, prompting Nestlé to extend the recall.
- Multiple batches across the SMA infant formula range were recalled in recent weeks due to cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus that can cause nausea and severe vomiting within five hours.
- Nestlé asks affected customers to share a photo and batch code via its online form or call 1800 931 832, and parents should not feed recalled formula, contacting a healthcare professional if concerned.
- Regulators warn cereulide can be pre-formed and heat resistant; the recall follows a January 23 Danone Aptamil recall linked to a shared third-party supplier, with no confirmed illnesses in Ireland.
