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 tumbles under $80,000 as Fed chair shift spooks crypto markets

Bitcoin dropped below $80,000 on Saturday, deepening its recent slide. By 12:48 p.m. ET, the cryptocurrency had fallen 6.53% to $78,719.63. Ether also took a hit, tumbling 11.76% to $2,387.77. 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.

Bitcoin ETFs Just Saw Nearly $1B Pulled in a Day as Bitcoin Slips Below $80,000

The sharp wave of redemptions is significant, given that much of the market’s narrative around “institutional demand” has relied on consistent ETF purchases.

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Warsh Fed pick shakes altcoin season hopes

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Warsh Fed pick shakes altcoin season hopes

Bitcoin slid below $80,000 on Saturday, extending a sharp pullback as traders fretted over tighter U.S. liquidity after former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh was selected as the next Fed chair. The biggest cryptocurrency was down 6.53% at $78,719.63 at 12:48 p.m. ET, and is about a third off October record highs; it hit $81,104 on Friday, the lowest since Nov. 21. Ether fell 11.76% to $2,387.77, as cryptocurrencies lagged rallies in gold and stocks and early hopes for friendlier policy under Donald Trump cooled, Reuters reported. The fresh dip is forcing traders to rethink a popular bet: that money would rotate from bitcoin into smaller tokens in an “altcoin season,” when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform. Instead, a lot of the chatter has shifted to risk control, forced selling and whether the market still has the cash to chase speculative rallies.
