Precautionary recall: 10,000 packs of Bimbosan goat's milk

The safety and health of babies is Bimbosan's top priority. For this reason, we are recalling certain batches of Bimbosan goat milk products as a precautionary measure in consultation with the relevant Swiss authorities.

The affected batch numbers and best-before dates are listed in the table below.

The recall is a precautionary measure, as quality defects were found in parts of the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid, which came from a previous supplier and was processed in the goat's milk products mentioned above. Some of this was contaminated with cereulide.

Due to the small amount of arachidonic acid used in production, the detected contamination with cereulide does not pose a serious health risk to babies. However, minor adverse effects cannot be completely ruled out.

We ask all purchasers of the affected products to stop feeding them to their children and to return them to the place of purchase. All other Bimbosan products that are not affected by this recall can be consumed without concern. Bimbosan Bio 1 or Bimbosan Classic 1 can be used as alternatives.

We know that this situation may cause concern and uncertainty. Bimbosan customer service is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about this recall. Hotline: +41 32 639 14 44 or info@bimbosan.ch

We deeply regret that this recall has caused concern and inconvenience and thank you for your trust.

Important notice

Breastfeeding is the best diet for your baby. The WHO therefore recommends 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and then further breastfeeding in conjunction with complementary foods that are appropriate and balanced according to age. Consult a healthcare professional (paediatrician, maternal counseling, midwife) if your child needs additional nutrition or if you are no longer breast-feeding.

Note on special food

If you want to use special infant formula, please discuss this with your paediatrician or caregiver at the clinic.

Please only use special infant formula under medical supervision.
