Formula Recalls and Batch Codes

Match recall notices to the market, pack size, lot and expiry date and preserve historical scope.

Sources reviewed

Match the notice to the package

Use the official notice's country, exact name, format, size, lot and best-before date. A batch-specific notice does not establish contamination in every product made by the brand. An all-batch notice has a different scope.

Our recall reference separates the supplied research date from the latest official notice check and shows the notice's exact affected identities.

The UK dates matter

The Danone FSA alert lists particular Aptamil and Cow & Gate products and expiry ranges. It also explains that heating does not reliably eliminate the cereulide toxin. Do not try to make recalled formula usable by changing preparation.

The supplied SMA PRO bundle has an unresolved correspondence with a notice naming a 1.2 kg SMA First Infant Milk product. We show the verified notice and keep that identity uncertainty visible.

Historical does not mean recommended

A closed outbreak investigation or terminated recall is a record of regulatory process, not an approval of a discontinued product for purchase. ByHeart, Nara and historical a 2 records remain outside normal purchase comparisons.

If your package matches an affected notice, follow that regulator's disposal, return and health guidance. These references are dated checks; consult the linked notice for subsequent updates.

General formula research supports informed questions. Specialized feeding needs and diagnosed allergies require clinical guidance for the infant and exact product.
