A New Zealand-based dairy company announced Monday that it is pulling three batches of infant formula from American stores after laboratory testing revealed the presence of a dangerous toxin.
The company, a2 Milk, initiated the voluntary recall of its a2 Platinum baby formula products following the discovery of cereulide, a harmful substance known to trigger vomiting in infants. According to a company statement, the contaminated formula was produced by Synlait Milk, which serves as an associate manufacturing partner for a2 Milk.
Company officials emphasized that no cases of illness have been documented in connection with the affected batches. The firm stated it is working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the recall process moves forward.
The recall specifically targets products distributed within the United States market, with parents and caregivers advised to check batch numbers on their formula containers against the company’s recall notice.
