Curdled' baby milk recalled
A batch of more than 40,000 cartons of baby milk has been recalled after
customers complained that the product had curdled, the Food Standards
Agency has said.
SMA Nutrition has pulled 40,530 1 litre packs of SMA Gold ready-to-use
liquid infant milk off shop shelves following 11 complaints.
The batch was delivered to stores across the UK . The packs have a best
before date of 12 March 2009 and carry the code 06033G.
A spokesman for SMA Nutrition said customers complained of opening the
packs to find the milk had separated and curdled.
Most customers did not use the milk, but two babies refused to feed and
one vomited immediately after drinking the product.
The spokesman said: "We have taken medical opinion and understand that
any upset caused by drinking affected milk would be temporary."
He added: "As a precautionary measure we are recalling the batch from
retailers and advising customers not to use product from this batch.
"No other SMA products or batches, either liquid or powder formulations,
are affected by this recall and parents can continue to use other SMA
liquid and powder infant milk products with confidence.
"SMA Nutrition regrets any inconvenience or concern this recall may
cause our customers and would like to reassure them of our commitment to
provide babies and young children with the highest quality nutrition
products."
Customers can call the SMA Careline on 0800 0890075 to discuss concerns
and receive a replacement carton.
