Nestlé Canada recalls infant formula

As a precautionary measure, Nestlé Canada is recalling Nestlé Good Start 2 Concentrate 359 ml with Omega Infant Formula, packaged in a tetra box with the following batch codes:

– 512857211A,

– 512957211A,

– 512957212A,

– 513057211A (this product is only sold in a case 12x359ml).

“This recall does not affect any other Nestlé Good Start products or any other markets outside of Canada,” the company said in a news release.

“Nestlé Canada is working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and is voluntarily recalling four batches of the product due to a quality issue. The minerals in the formula may separate over time and appear as black particles in the concentrate.”

The company says consumption of the product could lead to lower intake of some nutrients, due to reduced bioavailability.

“We are immediately contacting customers who received Nestlé Good Start 2 Concentrate 359ml Tetra Box with Omega with the affected batch codes and arranging for all products to be returned,” the release said. “As a precaution, we are recommending that any consumer with the affected batch codes should stop using the product.”

Anyone with any questions or concerns should contact Nestlé Consumer Services, Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET at 1-855-395-1238 and then dispose of the product. If you have any health concerns related to the product should consult with their health care practitioner, the release said.

“At Nestlé, the safety and quality of our products are a non-negotiable priority for the company.”
