Aptamil First - removed from Sainsburys?

[jac428]

My husband went to Sainsburys this morning and there was no Aptamil First on the shelves. He asked and was advised it was sent back to the manufacturer for a recall but had no further information. Has anyone heard anything about this? I can not find anything on the internet. The Aptamil First Ready To Use 200 ml carton has been removed from the Sainsburys website but the powder is still available and both powder and ready to use are available at Waitrose and Tesco. Any advice would be appreciated.

I wondered why they had none the last two times we went. I put it down to poor stock control and went to NCR pharmacy for it. I seriously hope there's nothing wrong with the product!!

Am worried now!

hello,

I checked the Aptamil website and saw the follwing http://www.aptamil.co.uk/en/article.asp?chco_id=2729. This may be a reason why Sainsburys removed it from their shelves? I have also contacted Sainsburys, but as it's as it's a sunday, I may have to wait till tomorrow for a response. I will keep you posted.

Hello,

This is the response I got from Sainsburys

'Thanks for your email about the recall of Aptimil first milk.

This product recall is only affecting the batch of stock that was sent to Sainsbury's. The manufacturers contacted us and only informed us that there was a quality issue with the stock. They would not give us any more information. For precautionary measures, Sainsbury's removed the stock from the shelves until we get more information from our suppliers.'

... think I shall contact Aptamil to ask them why that batch of stock was removed, I'll let you know their response. X
