Hong Kong authorities have found traces of the toxin cereulide in five more Nestlé baby milk formula samples, following an initial discovery of the toxin in recalled batches earlier in January. The Centre for Food Safety identified the toxin, produced by Bacillus cereus, in samples of Nan INFINIPRO2 7HMO, Nan PRO 1 2HMO, and Illuma LUXA 1 products. The affected batch numbers are 53070742F1, 51670742F2 and 51190017C2. This discovery comes after Nestlé Hong Kong recalled 22 batches of milk formula in early January as a precautionary measure, after a supplier's ingredient was found to potentially contain the heat-stable toxin. The ongoing investigation aims to ensure consumer safety following similar recalls in several European countries.
