- Products: Aptamil First Infant Formula (800g) Batch: 31-10-2026, Best before: 31 October 2026. Danone is recalling Aptamil First Infant Formula because cereulide toxin has been found in the product. The product listed below is on sale in the UK.
- Reason
- The presence of cereulide (toxin) makes this product unsafe to consume. 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, or when making the infant milk according to NHS guidelines. If consumed it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms. Symptoms caused by this toxin include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
