It comes after specific batches made by Nestle and Danone were recalled because of contamination with the toxin, cereulide. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says it has received clinical notifications of young children developing symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhoea, consistent with cereulide poisoning. None of the infants – all around or under one – are reported to be gravely ill, the BBC understands. (BBC) Gauri Godbole, from UKHSA, said it was not unexpected, given "the widespread availability" of the affected products prior to the recall and "subsequent testing". Godbole said there did not seem to be any signs that huge numbers of children had been affected so far. "Current surveillance indicators do not show unusual increases in reports of vomiting in children under the age of one for this time of year," she added. But the agency said it would continue monitoring the situation and providing updates. (BBC)
