Parents in the UK are being warned not to feed their babies using a particular batch of Aptamil First Infant Formula made by Danone.<\/p>\n
The company is recalling the product because it contains a toxin, called cereulide, which can cause vomiting.<\/p>\n
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the only batch affected is the 800g pack coded EXP 31-10-2026 – no other batches are at risk.<\/p>\n
Customers who still have some of this batch at home can return it to the shop where they bought it for a full refund with or without a receipt, says the FSA.<\/p>\n
Cereulide is a toxin which is unlikely to be destroyed by cooking, or when making the infant milk, the FSA says.<\/p>\n
If it’s consumed it can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps developing quickly.<\/p>\n
The affected batch was sold between May and July 2025 and the expiry date, batch and time can be found on the lower back of the pack.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, another food giant, Nestle, issued a global recall of specific batches of its infant formula product over concerns they contained the same toxin, meaning they were unsafe for babies to consume.<\/p>\n
At the time, Nestle said the problem was caused by an ingredient provided by one of its suppliers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
