Overview
- Danone is withdrawing specific Aptamil batches produced between May and August 2025 in coordination with German authorities, covering Pronutra Pre (1.2 kg, 19-11-2026), Pronutra 1 DE (800 g, 10-11-2026) and Profutura Duo Pre D (800 g, 20-04-2027).
- Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety confirmed the withdrawal, while Danone says the lots met standards and the step is precautionary.
- Foodwatch and eight families filed a complaint in France accusing manufacturers and regulators of warning parents too late about suspected contamination.
- Prosecutors in France are investigating two infant deaths for a possible link to recalled formula, and health authorities say no causal connection has been established.
- Nestlé began recalls in early January across about 60 countries after detecting the heat‑stable toxin cereulide in a supplier ingredient, and risk assessors warn it can cause rapid vomiting and, in rare cases, severe poisoning.
