🚨 PRODUCT RECALL – IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & CARERS 🚨
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is urging parents, early years settings and caregivers to check their infant formula after a recall of specific batches of Aptamil and Cow & Gate products (issued Friday 6 February 2026).
The recall has been made by Danone due to potential cereulide contamination, which can cause symptoms such as vomiting and stomach cramps.
👉 Only the batches listed in the FSA recall notice are affected, along with the product included in Danone’s earlier recall on 23 January 2026.
What you should do:
✔️ If you have any of the affected products, stop using them immediately.
✔️ Switch to an alternative formula.
✔️ If your baby is on a prescribed formula, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before making any changes.
✔️ If your baby has recently had the affected formula and you’re worried about symptoms, contact your GP or call NHS 111.
Please share to help spread the word and keep little ones safe. 💛https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-05-2026. https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-03-2026

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.
