There is a recall of some batches of Nestle baby milk. Please read attached information.

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.

Roads in Orkney are badly affected by adverse weather, with many blocked or severely impacted by snow. The public are strongly advised not to travel.

The A964 is closed and the A965 is badly affected. Please do not ignore road closed signs.

The A967 is blocked due to a vehicle stuck in the snow near to Voy, around 300 yards north of the junction with the B9056 which heads towards Yesnaby and Skaill.

Road users are advised the road is not passable and to avoid the area until recovery can be arranged.

We are working with partners but please be aware it could be Sunday, 4 January, before roads can be re-opened.

The Yule Log Committee would like to thank Green Marine UK for allowing us to store the log throughout the year and for performing the annual safety tests on the log.

On behalf of the Stromness Community Development Trust and Yule Log Committee, we look forward to a competitive but fun day for the town. We hope you can all come along to support this community event. Let's hope the weather stays nice! 🤞
