The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says a baby formula sold online and at Costco is being recalled over concerns it may contain cereulide, a toxin that can cause food poisoning.
The affected product is one-kilogram tins of Kendamil infant formula labeled “with whole milk.” Cereulide can cause nausea and vomiting and is not destroyed by heat.
No illnesses have been reported in Canada. The recall follows a similar action in another country.
Kendal Nutricare, the European company that makes Kendamil, said two batches sold at Costco in Canada used a different supplier for arachidonic acid oil, a source of Omega-6, during a short supply issue. The batches were produced in May 2025 and have codes 897274 and 888632 on the bottom of the tin.
The company says the formula meets European safety standards, but Health Canada has different rules and asked for the recall as a precaution.
