Second baby in Belgium sickened by recalled Nestlé product

The company issued a global recall of certain baby formula products, amid concerns that they contain a toxin which can cause food poisoning.
Austria’s Federal Ministry of Health, shared by the NGO Foodwatch in Austria and France, stated that over 800 products were recalled.
The second baby, aged a few months, fell ill in mid-January. Shortly before the onset of symptoms, he had also consumed a product that had been recalled. Laboratory analysis subsequently confirmed that it was indeed a case of cereulide contamination.
The child has since recovered, according to the Department of Health.
