French firm Lactalis latest to recall baby formula amid contamination scare
AI Summary
French company Lactalis has issued a voluntary recall of specific batches of Picot infant formula in France and over a dozen other countries due to potential contamination with cereulide, a toxin that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. The recall, announced on Wednesday, affects products sold in pharmacies and retail outlets. Countries impacted include Australia, China, and several others across Europe, Asia, and South America. This action follows similar recalls of infant formula by Nestle and Danone in recent weeks, also triggered by cereulide contamination concerns. While Lactalis initiated the recall as a precaution, French authorities have not received any reports of illness linked to the affected products.
