We know many parents and caregivers will be worried after seeing news about infant formula recalls over the weekend. Here's what you need to know:

Most formula is safe. Only some batches of Cow & Gate, Aptamil, and Nestlé SMA have been recalled. If your formula is not on the recall list, it is safe to use.

You can check our website for a full list of affected products.

The affected batches are unlikely to still be on shop shelves but may be in your cupboard. If you have an affected batch, do not use it. You can return it to the store and exchange it for an unaffected batch.

Today is Safer Internet Day 📱

We know that our children and young people are exposed to the internet more and more, and often parents and carers don’t know how to help them stay safe online. Safer Internet Day this year is focussing on AI and how to use it safely and responsibly. To support parents, carers, children and young people, the UK Safer Internet Centre have created resources for all to help keep our children and young people safer when they encounter or use AI.

Check out the Safer Internet Centre to get access to their resources for anyone aged 3 and above: https://saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/safer-internet-day-2026/top-tips-for-parents-and-carers

⚠️ Product recall: Aptamil First Infant Formula

Danone is recalling a batch of Aptamil First Infant Formula because cerulide toxin has been found in the product.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It’s unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.

Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products. If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.
