Paris: Nestle on Tuesday announced an expansion of a baby formula recall to include an additional batch of its Guigoz brand after France lowered the maximum permitted threshold for a known toxin.

According to Anadolu Agency, Nestle France emphasized in a written statement that their quality standard is based on the industry's strictest cereulide detection threshold, aiming for the complete absence of detectable cereulide in their infant milks. This strict requirement has led to the decision to proceed with the additional recall of a single batch of Guigoz Optipro Relais 1 (0-6 months).

The Swiss food group clarified that no other Guigoz products are affected by the recall and reassured that these products can be consumed safely. Cereulide, which can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, has been the reason behind the recall of several Nestle baby food products recently.
