"Danone and several other manufacturers have issued recalls of infant formula that could be contaminated with toxins that can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea in more than 60 countries since December. In Danone's latest recall, several hundred lots of formula are affected, including more than 120 of Aptamil and Milumil in Austria and Germany and 119 of Gallia and Bledilait in France, authorities said."
"The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on Monday drastically reduced the maximum allowed levels of cereulide. The recall of potentially contaminated infant formula has heaped scrutiny on Chinese firm Cabio Biotech, the supplier of an ingredient used in infant formula which is suspected of being tainted. Headquartered in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Cabio Biotech is one of the world's largest producers of ARA, a fatty acid used primarily in baby formula and food products. Cereulide was discovered in ARA manufactured by Cabio Biotech."

The European Food Safety Authority drastically reduced maximum allowed cereulide levels. The contamination was linked to ARA produced by Cabio Biotech in Wuhan; manufacturers have not disclosed how many packages are affected.
