AI Summary

short article 2 min

Hong Kong authorities have found cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, in four batches of Nestlé baby milk formula previously recalled in January. Nestlé initiated the recall of approximately 96,000 tins after discovering a supplier's ingredient could contain the heat-stable toxin. The Centre for Food Safety's investigation revealed five samples from the recalled batches tested positive for cereulide, with levels ranging from 0.8 to 8.6 micrograms per kilogram. The affected products include specific batches of ILLUMA ATWO 1, ILLUMA LUXA 2, NAN INFINIPRO3 7HMO, and ILLUMA LUXA 1, all with best-before dates in 2027. The initial recall and subsequent testing were prompted by similar actions taken in several European countries.
