IMPORTANT PRODUCT RECALL NOTICE ‼️
SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula.

The safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority. As a precautionary measure, Nestlé is voluntarily recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula. This is due to the potential presence of cereulide in the batches concerned.

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 their strict product quality and safety protocols. Consumers who may have these batches should not feed this product to their baby.

If you have purchased one of these batches, please share a photo of the product and the batch code via https://www.nestle.co.uk/en-gb/getintouch or by calling the careline on 0800 0 81 81 80 (UK) and they will refund you.

If you have been prescribed one of these batches listed please destroy the product and speak to your Healthcare Professional for advice on an alternative. Anyone concerned about their baby’s health should contact a healthcare professional.

All other Nestlé products and other batches of the same product that are not in the scope of this voluntary recall are safe to consume.

Batch codes can be found on the base of the tin or box for powdered formulas or the base of the outer box and on the side / top of the container for ready-to-feed formulas.
