Nestlé recalls baby cereal because of possible contamination

Article content

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announces Nestlé Canada is recalling its Gerber brand oat, banana and mango baby cereal because of possible contamination with Cronobacter spp.

The product affected by the recall has a best before date of May 30, 2025, and the universal product code is 0 65000 13361 5.

The CFIA recommends not consuming, selling, serving or distributing the affected product, but throwing it away or returning it to where it was purchased.

This product is available in several provinces, including Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick.

However, the agency said in a press release no cases of illness linked to the recalled cereals have been reported.

It specifies foods contaminated with Cronobacter “do not necessarily show visible spoilage or suspicious odour, but can still make you sick.”

Cronobacter spp. can cause serious illness or death in babies. In children under one year old, the bacteria can cause fever, poor diet, excessive crying, very low energy or even seizures.
