"Lactalis is proceeding with a voluntary recall of six batches of Picot infant milk, available in pharmacies and mass retail, due to the presence of cereulide in an ingredient supplied by a supplier, the company said, referring to the toxin that can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. We are fully aware that this information may cause concern among parents of young children, the company said."
"The announcement on Wednesday follows the recall of infant formula by Swiss dairy corporation Nestle in almost 60 countries since the beginning of the month. Outside France, the recall affects Australia, Chile, China, Colombia, the Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Spain, Madagascar, Mexico, Uzbekistan, Peru, Georgia, Greece, Kuwait, the Czech Republic and Taiwan, a spokesperson for the company told the AFP news agency. The recall involves a few batches of formula in each of the countries, the spokesperson said."
"Authorities in Singapore on Saturday recalled Dumex baby formula, a brand owned by French food giant Danone, as well as batches of Nestle formula. The Singapore Food Agency said it ordered the precautionary recall of a batch of Danone's Thai-origin Dumex Dulac 1 and Nestle's Swiss-origin NAN HA1 SupremePro after detecting cereulide. Danone said the authorities blocked just a few pallets of Dumex, indicating they were not yet on the shelves of retail outlets."
