Danone recalls Aptamil baby formula over bacterial contamination fears

Danone has recalled several batches of Aptamil baby formula due to potential health risks. The affected products may cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea if consumed. Customers are being advised to check their purchases immediately.

The recall was announced on February 5, 2026, after routine testing uncovered bacterial contamination. The issue was identified by the product's importer during standard quality checks.

Affected packages carry best-before dates of February 13, 2027, March 10, 2027, and April 15, 2027. The formula was distributed nationwide, meaning many households could be impacted.

Danone has confirmed that consumers can return the product to the store where it was originally purchased.

The company has stressed the importance of checking batch details before use. Shoppers with affected products should return them for a refund. The recall aims to prevent any further health incidents linked to the contamination.
