Another baby cereal is being recalled in Canada over Cronobacter fears

Nestlé Canada said it was issuing a voluntary recall for Gerber brand’s Oat Banana and Mango Baby Cereal due to possible Cronobacter contamination.

A second baby cereal in as many weeks is being recalled across Canada over a rare bacterial illness.

Nestlé Canada said on Sunday that it was issuing a voluntary recall “out of an abundance of caution” for Gerber brand’s Oat Banana and Mango Baby Cereal due to possible Cronobacter contamination.

The affected cereal is being pulled from all in-store and online retailers nationally, the company said.

The recall includes Gerber’s baby cereal products sold in 227 gram packages with lot code 3334007809 and the expiry date May 30, 2025.

Nestlé said no illnesses or complaints have been reported so far related to the recall and other products have not been affected.

“Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using the product, contact Nestlé Consumer Services for reimbursement and then dispose of the product,” the company said.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said that the recall was triggered by test results and a food safety investigation is being conducted which may lead to more recalls.

This is the second recall in two weeks affecting cereal for babies due to Cronobacter fears.
