Nestle has recalled selected batches of its SMA infant and follow-on formula after identifying a potential toxin risk.
The company said the affected products may contain cereulide, a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting.
Nestle said there have been no confirmed illness reports but the recall was issued as a precaution.
The safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority, and we sincerely apologise for any concern or inconvenience caused.
Nestle spokesperson said.
The company stressed that all other Nestle products and unaffected batches remain safe to consume.
Nestle said the issue originated from an ingredient supplied by a third-party provider.
Customers have been offered refunds, with batch numbers published on Nestle’s website and the UK food safety portal.
The Food Standards Agency warned that cereulide is not destroyed by boiling water or formula preparation.
Parents, guardians and caregivers should not feed infants the affected products and should seek medical advice if concerned.
Jane Rawling said.
The FSA said it is working to ensure all affected products are removed from sale as a precaution.
