In response to a global recall of infant formula due to contamination concerns, France has significantly tightened its safety regulations concerning the cereulide toxin. The French Ministry of Agriculture announced a reduction in the permissible level of cereulide in infant formula from 0.03 micrograms to 0.014 micrograms per kilogram of body weight. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance infant safety after the toxin, which can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, was detected in products distributed by major manufacturers like Nestlé, Danone, and Lactalis. According to Geo Health, this adjustment follows a European Union meeting and aligns with anticipated guidance from the European Food Safety Authority (WTAQ, January 31, 2026). The recalls have affected over 60 countries, highlighting the widespread impact of the contamination linked to a Chinese supplier, Cabio Biotech (Ground News, January 30, 2026).
