Parents warned after FSANZ issues urgent recall for Coco2 Infant Formula

An urgent recall has been issued for a plant based infant formula sold across Australia.

Marketed as a ”trusted plant-based choice for growing babies”, Coco2 claims to be the world’s first coconut-powder–based formula for babies and infants.

Food Standards Australia and New Zealand has urged anyone who bought Stage 1 Coco2 Infant Formula 800g, Stage 2 Coco2 Follow-on Formula 800g, or Stage 3 Coco2 Toddler Drink 800g with an expiry date of 01/2027 to return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

It blames incorrect feeding instructions contained in labelling errors, including incorrect scoop size, for the recall.

The products have been available for sale in Go-Vita and Priority Health in NSW, QLD, VIC and SA and Priceline in QLD, and online nationally.

“Consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund. Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,” a FZANZ statement about the recall reads.
