A recall of infant formulas due to potential contamination by cereulide, is affecting more than 60 countries worldwide. Symptoms of cereulide intoxication are generally mild, but infants under six months are more vulnerable to dehydration and electrolyte disturbances than older children. 

As of February 2026, multiple countries have begun reporting gastro-intestinal illness clusters associated with formula exposure. For Europe: see ECDC report.

France: Third infant death reported after formula consumption.
