Nestle and Danone Face Fresh Scrutiny over Infant Formula Recalls
Investigators say 838,000 cans were held back before public recalls, while prosecutors examine possible links to infant deaths.
- On Tuesday, French, Belgian, and Swiss media reported that food giants Nestle and Danone face fresh scrutiny over the speed of infant formula recalls following potential contamination.
- Contamination originated from an ingredient supplied by China's CABIO Biotech containing cereulide, a toxin that causes vomiting and diarrhoea and poses particular risks for infants.
- Radio France reported Nestle held back 838,000 cans from December 26 and carried out "silent" withdrawals in Austria and Germany, while Danone withdrew products before public recalls.
- A Nestle spokesperson described the investigative reports as "inaccurate and misleading information," stressing the company cooperated with authorities from "day one."
- Prosecutors in Bordeaux and Angers ruled out links between infant deaths and recalled formula, though Radio France noted further investigations into the contamination remain ongoing.
