There has been recent media and social media announcements by the Food Standards Agency and the manufacturer Nestlé, regarding a recall of some batches of SMA infant formula milks, including prescribed formulas such as SMA Alfamino, SMA Anti-Reflux and SMA LF.

Further information about affected products and batch numbers can be found here: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-02-2026

🚨 URGENT CONSUMER RECALL NOTICE – SMA INFANT FORMULA 🚨

As a precautionary measure, Nestlé is voluntarily recalling specific batches of SMA Infant Formula and SMA Follow-On Formula in the UK, Ireland, and Northern Ireland due to the potential presence of cereulide.

❗ Parents and caregivers should NOT feed these products to their baby.

🔎 What to do now:
• Check the batch code on the base of the tin or box (or on the side/top for ready-to-feed products)
• If your product matches the affected batch list, do not use it
• Contact Nestlé for a full refund by sharing a photo of the product and batch code

or call the careline:
📞 UK: 0800 0 81 81 80
📞 Ireland: 1800 931 832

🩺 If the product was prescribed, please destroy it and speak to your healthcare professional about an alternative.

Anyone concerned about their baby’s health should contact a healthcare professional immediately.

✅ All other Nestlé products and non-affected batches are safe to consume.

📄 A full list of affected products and batch numbers (UK, Ireland & Northern Ireland) is available in the link below or scan the QR code.

Please share this post to help reach anyone who may be affected. 💙
