Overview
- Peru’s Health Ministry, through Digesa, ordered a preventive market withdrawal of Alula Gold Premium formulas, including Alula Gold (0–12 months), Gold 1, Gold 2 and Gold Comfort.
- Mexico’s COFEPRIS directed the recall of specific lots of Alula Gold and Alula Gold Comfort imported from France, listing batch numbers and expiry dates for retailers and consumers to verify.
- The action follows an alert about possible traces of cereulide linked to the Omega 6 ARA ingredient, a Bacillus cereus toxin associated with gastrointestinal illness in infants.
- Sanulac began a voluntary recall on January 22, activated safety protocols, notified authorities and reported no confirmed illnesses tied to the products to date.
- Authorities urge consumers to avoid purchasing or using the identified lots and to report any stock found in stores to local health offices, Digesa (digesaconsul@minsa.gob.pe) or COFEPRIS (alertas@cofepris.gob.mx).
