Urgent recall of Allernova AR infant formula from France.

Previously, on June 12th, the French Ministry of Health announced the voluntary recall of Allernova AR infant formula, batch number 183403, manufactured by Laboratoires Novalac.

This decision was made after the monitoring system recorded 11 reports of gastrointestinal side effects in infants, such as diarrhea and vomiting, via the Anses system and one report via SignalConso, all related to the production batch in question.

Among the affected children, one case required hospitalization after tests detected Adenovirus in a stool sample. This is a causative agent of gastroenteritis, which is not typically transmitted through breast milk. Authorities also confirmed that this incident is unrelated to recent international warnings about cereulide toxins in infant formula.
