Thirty-six children have suffered toxin poisoning symptoms linked to Nestle and Danone baby formulas that were recalled last month, the UK Health Security Agency has said. Other Nestle products affected by the recall include: SMA Advanced Follow-On Milk; SMA Anti Reflux; SMA Alfamino; SMA First Infant Milk; SMA Little Steps First Infant Milk; SMA Comfort and SMA Lactose Free. 'This is a targeted recall, mainly in Europe, of only a very limited number of specific batches of infant formula products. This does not impact any Danone products in the Irish market and our infant formula products can be purchased and used as normal.' Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming bacterium that can contaminate a range of food products and when allowed to grow, certain strains can produce the cereulide toxin, the UKHSA said.
