Nutricia Southern Africa indicated that a raw material used in the production of the affected batches may carry traces of cereulide. This toxin can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
Earlier this year, Nestlé also recalled some batches of its Special Pro HA Infant Formula after identifying a potential presence of cereulide.
The products were distributed nationally by United Pharmaceutical since August 2025. According to the manufacturer, these products were also exported to neighbouring countries, Botswana and Namibia.
The affected batches include: | ||
