Global Baby Formula Recall Sparks Safety Concerns

Major food companies Nestlé, Danone, and Lactalis have launched a large-scale recall of baby formula products across multiple countries following a toxin alert.

The recall is linked to concerns over cereulide, a toxin produced by certain bacteria that can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and serious health risks, particularly for infants.

After laboratory tests detected potential contamination, companies acted by withdrawing specific batches from shelves and advising parents to stop using affected products immediately.

Health authorities in Europe and other regions are closely monitoring the situation, while investigations continue to determine the source of the contamination and its potential impact.

The incident has raised wider questions about food safety standards, quality controls, and supply-chain monitoring in the global infant nutrition industry.
