Nestlé recalls baby cereals due to possible contamination

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced that Nestlé Canada is recalling Gerber brand oat, banana and mango baby porridge due to possible contamination with the bacteria Coronobacter.

The product affected by this recall has an expiration date of May 30, 2025 and a global product code of 0 65000 13361 5.

The agency recommends that the affected product not be consumed, sold, served or distributed, but thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

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

The recall is the result of the agency's analysis, which is currently conducting an investigation. However, the CFIA said in a press release that no cases of illness associated with the recalled cereal have been reported.

The government agency says food contaminated with coronavirus may not have visible signs of spoilage or a suspicious odor, but it can still cause illness.

Cronobacter can cause serious and even fatal diseases in babies. In babies under one year of age, this bacteria can cause fever, poor feeding, excessive crying, very low energy, and seizures.
