Latest News About A2 Milk Formula Recall

Here’s the latest on the a2 Milk formula recall.

• Who recalls: a2 Milk Company (the recall concerns three batches of its a2 Platinum infant formula for the U.S. market).
• What happened: The recall was initiated after tests detected cereulide, a toxin produced by certain Bacillus cereus strains, in those batches. No illnesses have been confirmed to date.
• Scope: About 63,078 tins were produced under the U.S. label; estimates suggest around 16,428 tins were sold to consumers, with the rest likely distributed through other channels. The recall targets only the U.S.-labeled product; other international variants were not affected.
• Affected products: a2 Platinum infant formula sold in the U.S., produced by Synlait Milk under contract. The product has been discontinued and removed from sale, including online and retail channels.
• Guidance for consumers: Do not use the recalled batches if you have them. Discard them or return to the place of purchase for a refund. Monitor for any symptoms if ingestion occurred; symptoms of cereulide exposure can include nausea and vomiting and typically appear within hours.
• Company and regulatory context: The recall followed updated toxin-testing guidance and coordination with the U.S. FDA; it is part of broader global recalls of cereulide-containing infant formulas announced around the same period, though all other regional products were unaffected.

What this means for you in Los Angeles:

• If you have any a2 Platinum U.S.-labeled formula that you purchased recently, check the batch codes against the recall notice. If it matches, discontinue use immediately and seek a refund or disposal per retailer guidance.
• No action is required for a2 products sold outside the U.S. or other non-U.S. labels, as those variants are not part of this recall.
