The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today advises that Danone is recalling specific batches of its infant formula and follow-on formula due to the potential presence of cereulide. The implicated products were manufactured in Ireland and exported to a number of EU countries, the UK and third countries.

This recall is associated with a contaminated raw ingredient which was also implicated in the recent recall of some batches of infant formula and follow-on formula by Nestlé. An ingredient, ARA oil, which was manufactured in China, was contaminated with cereulide and added as an ingredient in base powder used to make infant formula and follow-on formula. Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of the bacterium Bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning.

The FSAI has been notified by Danone that none of the implicated products have been distributed in Ireland. The FSAI has notified the European Commission of this recall through its Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) to ensure that all affected countries are notified.

The FSAI and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, who regulate the Danone manufacturing facilities in Ireland, continue to engage with Danone to ensure that all food safety measures are being taken to protect consumers.
