EU Enforces Stricter Safety Limits for Infant Formula

Families buying baby formula in Denmark and Sweden will see stronger safety standards. EU member states officially endorsed a proposal by the European Commission. The new rules set permanent food safety limits for cereulide toxin in infant formula. This covers follow-on formula and special medical infant foods across Europe.

The measure strengthens supply chain standards across all EU member states. It follows past European product recalls linked to safety concerns. The update aims to ensure higher product safety for consumers in retail markets. EU authorities want to prevent future contamination issues in formula products.
