Three key issues have been identified by European countries asked for feedback about the response to infant formula contaminated with cereulide.
Cereulide was found in arachidonic acid (ARA) oil, a raw material from Cabio Biotech, a Chinese supplier. Cereulide is a toxin produced by certain strains of Bacillus cereus. There were 144 suspected and confirmed patients across 10 countries in January and February 2026.
