Amid mass recalls of first-stage infant formula, questions over how both manufacturers and authorities have handled the crisis have led to legal action. Advocacy group Foodwatch filed a complaint with the Paris judicial court on Thursday, January 29, alongside eight families whose children became ill after consuming Guigoz formula from Nestlé, Picot formula from Lactalis or Babybio Optima formula from Vitagermine.
The timeline of events has become a central concern for families and consumer organizations seeking to understand why the recalls in France stretched from December 11, 2025, to Tuesday, January 27, even though the risk of contamination came from an ingredient common to each manufacturer: an oil rich in arachidonic acid (ARA).
According to information Le Monde has obtained from Italian authorities and the Swiss company, Nestlé was aware of the presence of cereulide toxin in infant formula produced in the Netherlands as early as late November, about 10 days before the first recall. Furthermore, a high-level source stated that Nestlé knew on December 10 that ARA-enriched oil was the source of the contamination and then transmitted that information to European authorities. The Swiss group denies this point, insisting that ARA was not identified until December 23.

Nestlé staying true to its reputation as always
When the nestle CEO heard about this he probably got all excited. Many babies have been poisoned? Quick, get me plan #2356. Yees, yeeeeees, it’s all here. We buy or forcefully take the remaining newborns and corner the market. You want a child? You gotta come to us! WHAT!? They survived!? Bummer…another time then. [breaks a cute bunny’s neck to relieve tension]
It seems so cartoonishly evil that you don’t think it would happen, but I’ve been around bigger companies long enough to see first-hand that the psychopaths genuinely do get promoted first.
Companies don’t deliberately set out to recruit and promote psychopaths, they just have systems in place that happen to reward inhumanity. CEOs that don’t increase YoY revenue get fired by their boards, and the fact that it may have been because they were trying to avoid killing babies doesn’t enter into the discussion.
Gotta run the numbers to see if it is cheaper to let some kids die, rather than recall. I mean, kids are temporary, shareholder value is forever.

But have they tried running “kill all the poor”?
Ah here we go again, Nestle trying to kill babies again.
Fuck Nestle.
Nestle knew also about its contaminated mineral water
Who’s getting arrested for this?
