Urgent but not an emergency? Think UTC!

The Urgent Treatment Centre is open 7 days a week, 8.00am - 10.00pm (including bank holidays) to help with those urgent, but not life-threatening health issues.

When it’s urgent, but not an emergency head to the UTC!

[Nestlé UK & Ireland @NestleUKI]

As a precautionary measure, Nestlé is voluntarily recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula. This is due to the potential presence of cereulide in the batches concerned. A full list of products and batch numbers can be found here on the images shown. Consumers who may have these batches should not feed this product to their baby.

If you have purchased one of these batches, please share a photo of the product and the batch code via https://t.co/2zVpUWMrV9 or by calling our careline on 0800 0 81 81 80 (UK) 1800 931 832 (Ireland) and we will refund you.

Batch codes can be found on the base of the tin or box for powdered formulas or the base of the outer box and on the side / top of the container for ready-to-feed formulas. If you have been prescribed one of these batches listed please destroy the product and speak to your Healthcare Professional for advice on an alternative. Anyone concerned about their baby’s health should contact a healthcare professional. All other Nestlé products and other batches of the same product that are not in the scope of this voluntary recall are safe to consume.

The safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority. We understand that this news may cause concern for parents, and we sincerely apologise for any concern or inconvenience caused to parents, caregivers, and customers.

UPDATE: We have re-published this post at 7:30pm on 5th January 2026 with updated information.
