FVA recalls new batches of Aptamil infant formula due to potential contamination

The Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) informs the public that, based on information received through the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Animal Feed (RASFF), a preventive recall from the market of certain batches of Aptamil infant formula has been carried out.

An urgent inspection control was carried out at the importer of the products, from which the FVA received an official notification that the products covered by the notifications have already been recalled from the market and that their recall has also been carried out. The withdrawal concerns a limited number of batches in which there is a possibility of the presence of cereulide toxin.

Products covered by the recall:

• APTAMIL AR 2

• APTAMIL PRONUTRA 2

• APTAMIL PRONUTRA 1

We urge consumers who have purchased the listed products with the defined serial numbers and expiration dates, not to use them, to destroy them harmlessly, or to return them to the place of purchase, FVA pointed out.
