222 | How does cereulide get into infant formula? Which GFSI Scheme is Best? |

The Rotten Apple • 52 implied HN points • 19 Jan 26

  1. Cereulide in the infant formula recall likely came from a contaminated ingredient, possibly ARA oil made by fungal fermentation, where the toxin from a starchy fermentation substrate could partition into the oil.
  2. Cereulide is a heat‑stable, highly potent emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus in starchy materials; once formed it survives cooking and reheating, so control relies on preventing bacterial growth (rapid cooling, cold storage ≤5 °C, strict hot‑holding or discard rules).
  3. Pick a GFSI certification that fits your target markets, company maturity, local auditor availability and budget because there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all; importantly, GFSI clarified auditors with equivalent industry experience (not just degrees) remain eligible, easing the auditor shortage.
