Nestlé has issued a global recall in nearly 50 countries after SMA, BEBA, and NAN infant formulas were possibly contaminated with a toxin that can cause severe nausea and vomiting.
The recall began in December, according to Reuters. The baby formula, which was sold across Europe, Turkey, and Argentina, may have been contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus.
"Food safety and the well-being of all infants remain our top priority," Nestlé said in a statement. "We understand that this news may cause concern, and we are committed to providing clear, transparent information and support for parents and caregivers throughout this process. "
