Nestlé recalls SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula
Published: 8 January 2026
Nestlé has taken the precautionary step of recalling several batches SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula because they may contain cereulide toxin.
Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus. Cereulide is highly heat stable meaning it is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking, using boiling water or when making the infant milk. If consumed it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms. Symptoms caused by this toxin include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.
The full alert and details of the affected batches can be found on the Food Standards Agency website.
