Nestlé Knew of Tainted Baby Formula in November
Nestlé detected the toxin cereulide in infant formula at a factory in the Netherlands in late November. Production was halted, and authorities were informed on December 10th. Investigation revealed the contamination originated from a third-party oil supplier, confirmed by Nestlé’s analysis on December 23rd. This led to a recall of affected infant formula batches in early January, impacting other manufacturers as well.
