Overview
- Danone’s UK recall covers one batch of Aptamil First Infant Formula 800g (batch code EXP 31-10-2026), sold May to July 2025, with the Food Standards Agency advising consumers not to use it and to return packs for refunds.
- Irish authorities said the same Aptamil batch reached Ireland via Boots.ie, ordered retailers to remove stock, and noted the toxin can cause rapid-onset nausea and vomiting.
- The Food Standards Agency says investigations point to a shared third‑party ingredient supplier for ARA oil, a finding that also underpins Nestlé’s separate SMA formula recalls, as testing and tracing continue.
- Authorities in the UAE and Oman announced recalls of Aptamil Advance PDF 1, citing concerns linked to Bacillus cereus in a production input and specifying an affected batch dated 2026.11.08, with officials urging immediate cessation of use.
- Cereulide is heat-stable and not neutralized during preparation; regulators report no confirmed illnesses tied to the recalled batches to date, and French investigators are examining unproven links to two infant deaths.
