⚠️ Product recall: SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula

Nestlé is recalling several SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula products as a precaution due to the possible presence of cereulide toxin.

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.

For a full list of affected batches and what to do next, visit: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-02-2026
