Danone Recalls Baby Formula from Slovak Market Due to Toxin Contamination

French food giant Danone has withdrawn infant formula from the Slovak market after detecting the presence of cereulide, a toxin that can cause vomiting, fatigue, and dehydration in babies. The recall affects baby food products distributed in Slovakia, marking a significant food safety concern for parents and caregivers. Cereulide is a heat-stable toxin produced by certain bacteria that can survive standard food processing temperatures, making contaminated products particularly dangerous for infants whose immune systems are still developing.
