Nestle recalled specific batches of its SMA baby formula, citing the potential presence of cereulide bacteria.

The food-and-drink maker, also behind brands like Nescafe coffee and Purina pet food, said Monday that it would voluntarily recall the infant formula and its follow-on product.

There were no cases of confirmed illnesses due to the consumption of these products, it said. Parents are advised to refrain from feeding infants or young children the formula, Nestle said.

"Out of an abundance of caution, Nestle has decided to perform this voluntary product recall," the company said in a statement.

The product was recalled as they potentially contain the cereulide toxin, which is heat resistant and can cause nausea and vomiting, according to the food safety authority of Ireland.

Nestle shares were down 0.9% at 75.76 Swiss francs in European morning trading Tuesday.
