Nestlé Canada has issued a voluntary recall for a type of Gerber baby cereal sold online and in stores across the country due to potential bacterial contamination, the company said in a statement on Sunday.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) stated in a notice that some packages of Gerber baby cereal made from oats, bananas, and mangoes are being recalled due to concerns about Cronobacter bacteria.
The agency warned against consuming the product, which is distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and "possibly other provinces and territories."
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency stated that food contaminated with Cronobacter bacteria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
It added, "The bacteria, which can cause rare infections in the bloodstream and central nervous system, have been linked to severe intestinal infections and sepsis, especially in newborns."
Consumers and distributors should look for 227-gram boxes of dry cereal with batch code 3334007809 and an expiration date of May 30, 2025. The UPC code is 0 65000 13361 5.
The company stated that any other Nestlé or Gerber products in the country were not affected by the recall, and Nestlé Canada has not received any reports of illnesses related to the cereals.
The company advised consumers who purchased this product to stop using it, contact Nestlé Consumer Services at 1-800-387-4636 for reimbursement, and then dispose of it.
