A voluntary and precautionary recall of a small number of infant formula products, including NAN Comfort 1, NAN OPTIPRO 1, NAN SUPREME PRO 1, 2, 3, S-26 Ultima 1, 2, 3, and Alfamino, has been notified by the Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) in collaboration with Nestlé.
The recall was initiated to safeguard consumer health and safety after it was discovered that one of the raw materials used in production contained Bacillus cereus residues, which can produce the toxin cereulide.
The Emirates Drug Establishment emphasized that all other Nestlé products remain safe to eat and that, to date, no illnesses or adverse events linked to the affected batches have been reported or confirmed. The Establishment emphasized that its first priority is product safety and quality, particularly for children’s health.
The EDE stated that the affected batches have been quarantined in the company’s and distributors’ warehouses, in cooperation with Nestlé, and that efforts are ongoing to complete the recall of any remaining quantities in compliance with authorized regulatory procedures.
It added that these actions were taken to safeguard the public’s health and safety and that the recall procedure is being carried out in cooperation with the UAE’s pertinent regulatory bodies to guarantee that the impacted batches are completely removed from all retail locations, including internet retailers.
