A joint assessment by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the European Food Safety Authority concluded that the risk of exposure to contaminated baby formula is now low following a Europe-wide recall. Most affected children experienced mild symptoms and have recovered, although some were hospitalized due to dehydration. Investigations into the contamination, linked to Bacillus cereus, are ongoing in several countries, and a probe has been opened against five dairy firms, including Nestlé.
