Tajikistan has halted the sale of Nestle’s NAN infant formula due to the product’s failure to meet regulatory standards. The country’s Agency for Standardization, Metrology, Certification, and Trade Inspection made the announcement on Friday, advising citizens to stop using the product and return any purchased items to the retailer. The agency, also known as TajikStandard, is working alongside the importer company to take necessary measures and resolve the issue.
The recall in Tajikistan follows a similar incident in neighboring Kyrgyzstan, where certain batches of Nestlé infant formula were also recalled. It appears that the issue is not isolated to one country, but rather a regional problem that affects the quality of Nestle’s infant formula.
The decision to recall the product is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of infants and young children in Tajikistan. The agency’s primary concern is to protect consumers from potentially hazardous products, and in this case, the Nestle NAN infant formula has failed to meet the required standards.
As a result of the recall, citizens are urged to exercise caution and avoid using the product until further notice. The importer company, in collaboration with TajikStandard’s Trade Inspection, will be taking steps to rectify the situation and prevent any further distribution of the non-compliant product.
The recall highlights the importance of regulatory bodies in ensuring the quality and safety of consumer products. In this instance, TajikStandard has demonstrated its commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its citizens, particularly vulnerable populations such as infants and young children.
While the specifics of the regulatory standards that the Nestle NAN infant formula failed to meet are not disclosed, the recall serves as a reminder of the need for rigorous quality control measures in the production and distribution of consumer goods. As the situation unfolds, it is likely that further information will become available regarding the nature of the issue and the steps being taken to address it. For now, citizens in Tajikistan are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of their children.
