Official-source summary

What happened?

Danone is recalling several Aptamil and Cow & Gate First Infant Milk and Follow on Milk formula products sold in Northern Ireland because cereulide toxin may be present in some batches of the products. This recall is an extension to the Aptamil First Infant Formula product recall issued on 23 January 2026. The best before dates differ slightly from the dates listed on the Aptamil and Cow & Gate First Infant Milk and Follow on Milk formula product recall issued on 6 January 2026. This recall contains information that is relevant to Northern Ireland only.

Reason given

The possible presence of cereulide (toxin) in the products listed above. Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus. Cereulide is highly heat stable meaning it is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking, or when making the infant milk according to NHS guidelines. If consumed it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms. Symptoms caused by this toxin include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.

Action reported

Danone is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products. Please see the attached notices.
