Mass Recall of Nestlé Baby Food in France Due to Excess Toxin Levels
France has launched a mass recall of batches of Nestlé baby food after detecting levels of ochratoxin A — a substance produced by certain types of mold — that exceed safety standards. Regulatory authorities found violations of health norms, prompting urgent measures to withdraw the products from store shelves.
At the moment, it is unknown whether the contaminated products were shipped to Kazakhstan. However, experts strongly advise refraining from purchasing Nestlé baby food produced in France until official safety information regarding specific batches becomes available.
Ochratoxin A poses a serious health risk, especially for infants: prolonged exposure can damage kidneys and impair the immune system.
This quality issue strikes a blow to the reputation of the Swiss brand, which has previously faced concerns over product safety. French authorities are urging parents to carefully check product labels and return any suspicious items to stores.
