The multinational corporation Nestlé has recalled several batches of infant food products in Spain due to the potential presence of the bacterium Bacillus cereus, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea.

This decision, communicated by the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan), follows a previous recall in December of a batch of Nidina 1 powdered milk for the same food safety concern.
The current recall affects 36 batches of products such as Alfamino, Alfamino Junior, various NAN varieties (AR, Total Confort, Optipro, SupremePro), Nativa, and Nidina, in different formats. Nestlé has enabled a search engine on its website to help consumers verify their products.

"The safety of babies is our priority, and the withdrawal is due to the possible presence of cereulide, a toxin that can cause intense vomiting and diarrhea."

Families who possess any of the affected batches are advised not to consume the contents under any circumstances. The information was coordinated with regional authorities through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (SCIRI) to ensure the effective removal of the products from the market.
