Amman: The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) clarified that Jordan is not among the countries affected by the production batches disclosed for all Nestl© infant formula products that were reported to have a potential risk of contamination with the Cereulide toxin, produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus, which may cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.
