The Municipality of Concordia, through the Directorate of Bromatology, in order to preserve the health of the population, announces a food alert issued by ANMAT regarding the market withdrawal of products from NESTLÉ ARGENTINA S.A.
The measure was taken due to the possible presence of the Cereulide toxin, produced by the microorganism Bacillus cereus, in one of the raw materials used for the production of the products.
According to the National Administration of Drugs, Foods and Medical Devices (ANMAT), this is a voluntary and preventive market withdrawal carried out by the company and covers specific batches of products intended for infants.

The Bacillus Cereus bacterium is usually found in various places, such as soil and water, and can form spores as a way of resisting adverse conditions. Likewise, it is capable of producing toxins (Cereulide, among others).
This microorganism can cause two types of diseases. One of the forms of presentation is an intoxication - emetic syndrome, which manifests with nausea and vomiting 1 to 6 hours after ingesting food contaminated with the toxin. On the other hand, the diarrheal syndrome presents with diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever 8 to 16 hours after consumption.

ANMAT clarified that it is coordinating actions with health authorities in order to monitor the market withdrawal of the involved batches of the mentioned products.
