UAE recalls some Nestle infant formula products, Qatar warns consumers

Jan 7 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates' drug regulator has ​recalled certain Nestle infant formula ‌products after the company recalled specific batches ‌over a potential toxin risk, the state news agency (WAM) reported on Wednesday.

The Emirates Drug Establishment said no ⁠illness or ‌adverse events linked to the affected batches have been ‍reported or confirmed, WAM added.

The Qatari ministry of public health has also warned ​consumers against using specific batches ‌of Nestle infant formula products over suspected contamination with cereulide toxin, the Qatari state news agency reported.

Nestle said late on Monday it was ⁠recalling specific batches ​of its SMA ​infant formula and follow-on formula due to the potential presence ‍of a ⁠toxin that could lead to nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
