Recall issued for Kendamil baby formula sold at Costco
The Canada Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall of Kendamil baby formula, sold at Costco and online, because of the possible presence of cereulide
toxin, which causes food poisoning.
In its
, the agency says two lots of one-kilogram containers of
Kendamil
infant formula labelled “with whole milk” may contain the heat-resistant toxin, which can quickly cause nausea and vomiting.
Cereulide “is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking or when preparing infant formula for consumption,” CFIA says.
Symptoms typically begin rapidly after ingestion and most often involve gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
The affected lots were produced in May 2025 and their codes, 897274 and 888632, can be found on the base of the tin.
Retailers and consumers are urged not to “
consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products.”
The
products being recalled should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased
