The Food Standards Agency is asking parents, early years settings and caregivers to check their infant formula against specific batches of Aptamil and Cow & Gate products that have been recalled by Danone.
The recall has been issued due to potential cereulide contamination, which can cause illness including vomiting and stomach cramps. The issue only affects specific batches listed in the recall notice, in addition to products included in an earlier recall on 23rd January 2026.
If you have any of the affected products, the FSA advises that you stop using them immediately and switch to an alternative formula. If the formula was prescribed, please speak to a pharmacist or doctor before changing. If you have recently fed the affected formula to your baby and are concerned about symptoms, contact your GP or call NHS 111.
