"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 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."
Danone expanded its recall of infant formula to Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Switzerland, citing updated recommendations about cereulide. Several hundred lots are affected, including over 120 Aptamil and Milumil lots in Austria and Germany and 119 Gallia and Bledilait lots in France. The European Food Safety Authority drastically reduced maximum allowed levels of cereulide. The recall has focused scrutiny on Wuhan-based Cabio Biotech, a major ARA supplier, after cereulide was discovered in ARA produced by the firm. Danone urged consumers to return recalled packages and said formulas undergo strict safety controls.
