French authorities have withdrawn several batches of Nestlé baby food due to excessive levels of ochratoxin A.
France has taken decisive action by withdrawing various batches of baby food from the Swiss multinational, Nestlé, after discovering excessive levels of ochratoxin A, a mycotoxin.
This decision follows a warning from the Rappel Conso website regarding the presence of this toxin in certain baby food products. The affected product lines include P’tite Recette, Naturnes, and P’tit Souper. Authorities have recommended immediate disposal of these products, and consumers are advised to seek refunds.
The incident is regarded as an 'exceptional non-compliance' due to a single batch of raw material, with only a repeat lifetime consumption posing any potential harm. The production line has been halted, with approximately 300,000 bottles seized from sales for exceeding permissible microbial levels.
