Global Product Recall
Nestlé has announced a recall of certain infant formula products, including SMA, BEBA, and NAN formulas, across multiple countries in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia. The recall follows concerns over possible contamination with a toxin that may cause nausea and vomiting in infants.
The recall, initially rolled out on a smaller scale in December, is part of Nestlé’s proactive safety measures. The company confirmed that no illnesses or symptoms have been reported in connection with the affected batches.
Indian Market Status
Nestlé has clarified that products sold in India are not affected by this recall. Parents and caregivers using Nestlé infant nutrition products in India can continue using them safely.
Corporate Context
This recall presents an early challenge for Nestlé CEO Philipp Navratil, who is currently implementing a portfolio review aimed at driving growth after a period of management transitions and operational changes. The company emphasized its commitment to product safety and quality, reaffirming strict regulatory compliance across all markets.
Consumer Guidance
Nestlé advises customers worldwide to check product batch numbers and return affected items to the point of purchase for replacement or refund. The company continues to monitor the situation closely and is working with local authorities to ensure public safety.
