France is preparing to introduce stricter regulations on the permissible levels of the toxin cereulide in infant formula. This move follows the recall of potentially contaminated baby milk products distributed across more than 60 countries.
The new limits aim to reduce health risks associated with cereulide, a toxin produced by certain bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Authorities are working to ensure higher safety standards for infant nutrition products.
**Why this matters**
Infant formula is a critical source of nutrition for many babies, and contamination poses serious health risks. Tightening regulations helps protect vulnerable infants from exposure to harmful substances and prevents future recalls that can disrupt supply and cause concern among parents.
