Overview
- Cofepris ordered a preventive market withdrawal of specific infant formula lots sold in Mexico due to the possible presence of the cereulide toxin.
- The action covers Alula Gold and Alula Gold Comfort products and Nestlé NAN Alfamino and Alfamino 400 g cans limited to lots 52030017Y2, 52040017Y1, 51060017Y2 and 51070017Y1.
- Authorities report that initial tests on the omega‑6 ARA ingredient were negative, but analyses of reconstituted product detected the heat‑resistant toxin.
- Sanulac and Nestlé describe the withdrawals as voluntary and confined to listed lots, advising consumers to stop using affected cans, avoid returning them to stores, and contact customer service.
- No health cases have been reported in Mexico so far, and the move aligns with wider international recalls linked to an ARA oil supplier affecting at least 37 countries.
