According to the authorities, these batches have already been distributed in Cyprus and are being recalled as a precaution following notification through the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and additional testing.

Currently, the following baby formulas are subject to recall:

Health authorities strongly advise against using the listed batches for infant feeding and recommend returning the products to the stores where they were purchased.
