Following inspections and traceability checks, AKU announced it had blocked all available stocks of the product, including units returned from the market, pending destruction or return to the country of origin.

According to the Albanian importer, the recall of the “NAN 1 OPTIPRO” 800-gram infant formula batch was initiated by manufacturer Nestle as a precautionary measure after the highly toxic bacterium was detected at the production facility in the Netherlands.
