The products, Nestlé said, could potentially contain cereulide - a potentially deadly toxin that can lead to the rapid onset on nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) added the toxin is highly heat-resistant, meaning that it's unlikely to be destroyed by heating, boiling water, or when making the baby formula. It is currently believed that no other Nestlé products are affected and the contamination was caused by an ingredient provided by one of its suppliers. Customers who are worried their baby formula may be contaminated are advised to look for the corresponding code on the base of the tin or box for powdered formulas. The FSA states that even if your baby is not showing any signs of illness, it is imperative to stop using the affected product.
