China Feihe recently stated that the ARA ingredients used in its products are not affected by any issues related to Bacillus cereus toxins and are safe for consumption.
Feihe further emphasized that all its products utilize powdered ARA as a raw material, which is fundamentally different from the liquid ARA used in the recalled products from the involved foreign company. The core ingredients, including ARA, are subjected to internal quality standards that exceed European Union requirements before entering the factory. The company has established and strictly adheres to rigorous testing frequencies and quality standards for microbial indicators, including Bacillus cereus, throughout the production process to ensure a contamination-free environment. Products are only released for market after passing all required indicator tests.
It is reported that since its establishment, Feihe has achieved 64 years of production with zero safety incidents. The company consistently adheres strictly to regulations such as the "Detailed Rules for the Review of Production Licenses for Infant Formula Milk Powder (2022 Edition)" and implements comprehensive quality control across the entire industry chain. Products undergo more than 400 tests before leaving the factory and are only released after all indicators meet the required standards. In routine inspections by regulatory authorities at various levels over the years, the company's product qualification rate has consistently remained at 100%.
Recently, Nestlé decided to "preventively and voluntarily recall" certain batches of infant formula奶粉 in 31 countries and regions globally after trace amounts of Cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, were detected in the ARA oil provided by a supplier.
