I feed my baby with baby food, can my baby be infected with the virus through the product?
We understand that in the current situation many parents will worry about risks of COVID-19 infection in their day to day lives. Here at Nestlé we always follow strict protocols on hygiene and cross infection control and ensure that all our foods are safe and free from contaminants. During this worrying time, we have of course reviewed all our protocols and introduced additional measures to guarantee that we provide a safe product for you and your family. Your baby is not at risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 from our formula milk or baby foods. However, in the current situation it is important that you also follow some additional measures in your own home to ensure the food remains safe for your baby. It is recommended that you maintain good hand hygiene (washing your hands well for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before and after touching or handling any food or packaging), making sure to clean/ disinfect any contaminated surfaces regularly and washing your hands well before and after feeding your child. Also make sure you do not contaminate your product with dirty utensils and ensure that all parts of your feeding equipment are regularly cleaned and appropriately sterilized or disinfected as per manufacturer instruction.
