Photo: Nestlé websiteThe Food Safety Authority (FSA) under the Ministry of Health made the request on Wednesday, following reports a day earlier that the global food and beverage giant had announced the preventive recall. To safeguard consumers in Vietnam, the FSA has instructed Nestlé Vietnam to conduct a comprehensive review of all activities related to the two product lines. This includes verifying the registration status of product declarations or self-declarations for Beba and Alfamino infant formula in the Vietnamese market. The FSA has set January 10 as the deadline for Nestlé Vietnam to complete its review and submit its findings and response plans, allowing regulators to consider further management measures if necessary.
