Nestle stock price: France tightens baby formula toxin limit as investors brace for NESN’s next week

ZURICH, Jan 31, 2026, 21:16 CET — The market has closed. France cut the safety limit for cereulide — a toxin that triggers nausea and vomiting — in infant formula on Saturday, a move likely to prompt more product recalls. Nestle shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange last closed at 73.43 Swiss francs Friday, down 0.07%, after fluctuating between 73.15 and 74.06 francs on 3.54 million shares traded. The farm ministry dropped the threshold to 0.014 micrograms per kilogram of body mass from 0.03, citing a Jan. 28 EU meeting ahead of new European Food Safety Authority guidance expected Monday, Feb. 2. The recalls stem from ingredients sourced from a Chinese factory supplying several producers, including Lactalis. French authorities are investigating two infant deaths, while Foodwatch has filed a criminal complaint in Paris.

Bitcoin slipped back to levels not seen since April 2025, as thin weekend liquidity combined with weak buying interest to deepen the drop. The wider crypto market lost roughly $111 billion in value within 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Ether and Solana both suffered double-digit declines. Meanwhile, spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds — stock-market vehicles holding the token — continued to experience steady outflows. Investors remained defensive, concentrating flows into metals and cash.
