The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition announced a voluntary precautionary withdrawal of certain infant formula products after receiving follow-up reports through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed regarding potential safety concerns.

In a statement published Friday on its official account on the social media platform X, the authority said the manufacturing company initiated the voluntary recall of several production batches due to the possible presence of the substance “Cereulide,” prompting precautionary measures aimed at safeguarding consumer health, particularly that of infants.

The authority confirmed that immediate action was taken to halt the circulation and sale of all affected batches, reports Al-Rai daily.

It added that coordination is ongoing with the relevant authorities to ensure the products are withdrawn from markets while implementing all necessary preventive measures to maintain food safety standards and protect public health in Kuwait.

Consumers were urged to carefully check the batch numbers printed on product packaging and to immediately stop using the formula if the numbers match those listed in the official warning.

The authority also called on the public to follow updates and instructions issued through its official communication channels to ensure full compliance with safety guidance.
