Nestlé has announced a global recall of certain batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula due to potential food safety concerns. The company, based in Vevey, Switzerland, stated that these products may contain toxins that could lead to food poisoning. Although there have been no confirmed reports of illness from consuming the affected products, Nestlé has taken this precautionary measure "out of an abundance of caution."
Parents who have purchased the recalled products are advised to contact their healthcare providers for guidance. Additionally, Nestlé is offering a full refund to customers who return the affected formula. The company has emphasized its commitment to consumer safety and is working closely with health authorities to address the situation.
Nestlé's decision to recall the products underscores the importance of food safety in the infant nutrition sector.
