Nestlé has issued a voluntary recall of a specific batch of its NAN Special Pro HA infant formula after identifying a potential safety risk linked to cereulide, a toxin that can cause illness in babies.

The warning applies to products sold across South Africa and those exported to Namibia and Eswatini.

“This recall is issued as a precautionary measure to protect the safety and wellbeing of babies,” the company said.

“Parents and caregivers are urged to stop using the affected product immediately.”

The affected product is the 800-gram tin intended for babies from birth
