When Baby Milk Becomes Dangerous: Who Is Informing Parents in Mallorca About the Nestlé Recall?

Answer

Should baby formula be boiled again if there is a contamination warning?

No, boiling does not make this kind of toxin safe, because cereulide is heat-stable. If a product is part of the recall, it should not be used at all. The safest option is to dispose of or return the affected batch according to the retailer’s or manufacturer’s instructions.
