"The infant's death does not appear... to be linked to the formula milk that was used to feed them. The investigation is continuing, particularly on the forensic level, in order to determine the cause of death."
"Several manufacturers -- including European giants like Nestle, Danone and Lactalis -- have issued recalls of infant formula that could be contaminated with the toxin cereulide in more than 60 countries since December."
"In a separate case, the lawyers of the family of a 27-day-old baby who died on December 23 in the western city of Angers said formula she had consumed contained "abnormal" levels of cereulide. But the lawyers added that a direct link between the formula and her death has not yet been confirmed."
French prosecutors concluded that a two-week-old infant's death in Bordeaux in January does not appear connected to contaminated powdered milk consumption. Multiple manufacturers including Nestle, Danone, and Lactalis recalled infant formula potentially contaminated with cereulide toxin across over 60 countries since December. French authorities previously identified three infant deaths involving cereulide-contaminated powdered milk. In a separate case, a 27-day-old baby died in Angers after consuming formula with abnormal cereulide levels, though direct causation remains unconfirmed. Investigations continue on forensic and analytical levels. The European Union implemented stricter border controls on Chinese arachidonic acid oil imports in February, the ingredient suspected of containing the toxin.
