Nestle has initiated recall of some batches of its infant nutrition product including SMA, BEBA and NAN formulas following detection of a quality issue in Europe.
As per reports, the recall began on a smaller scale in December and spread at many locations across Europe.
The company has issued a statement on Jan 5 that Nestle is voluntarily recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula.
"This is due to potential presence of cereulide in the batches concerned," reads the statement of Nestle UK.
The statement added, "There have been no?confirmed?reports of any illness associated with consumption of the products concerned. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, Nestlé has decided to perform this voluntary product recall in line with our strict product quality and safety protocols."
Further, as per an advisory issued by Nestle, cereulide?is a substance of bacterial origin that causes foodborne illness and is created by certain strains of the microorganism, Bacillus cereus.?The presence of cereulide in oils is very uncommon, and Nestlé is working with the oil supplier, who is conducting a full root-cause analysis.
