Cow & Gate Product Recall & Availability Update

Last updated 6th February 2026

Is Cow & Gate Safe to use? – All products available for purchase are safe to use

You may have seen some news in recent weeks about baby formula milk recalls impacting multiple brands in different countries across the world. Following this news, food safety authorities have issued guidance to ensure continuous improvements in the standards of baby formula. The health and safety of babies is something we take very seriously so we welcome these changes and as a result, we are recalling specific batches of product that were produced last year to ensure all products available for you to purchase are fully up to date with the latest guidance. 

You can use the product recall checker below to find out if product that you have already purchased is impacted by this recall. 

All products that remain on sale are not impacted and can be used as normal. If you have already purchased product from a recalled batch, do not continue to use it and return it to any UK grocery store for a full refund with or without a receipt.

We appreciate updates like this may be worrying to hear and want to reassure you that we have very strict safety and quality checks in place on all of our products. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Careline Team who is available to talk on 0800 977 8880
