Nicosia, Cyprus. Nestlé has recalled several baby milk products in Cyprus due to the possible presence of cereulide, a toxin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus, the health ministry said on Wednesday.

The recall includes specific batches of S-26 GOLD 1 (400g), NAN EXPERTpro SENSITIVE PLUS (400g), NAN EXPERTpro Lactose Free (400g), and Nestlé NAN Optipro 1 (800g).
The most recent addition is batch S-26 GOLD 1 (400g) 53280346AB with a best-before date of 30/11/2027.

Consumer guidance
Consumers who have these batches were urged not to use them for feeding infants and to return the products to the place of purchase.
Authorities also warned buyers who purchased baby milk online from foreign websites to check whether the products they received fall within the scope of the recall.
Investigation and precautionary recall
The ministry said it is continuing to investigate the incident and will issue further announcements if additional products have been distributed to the Cypriot market by other companies other than the official representatives.
The ministry said the recall is a precautionary measure to protect infant health while investigations into potential contamination continue.
