LONDON (Jan 24): French food and beverage maker Danone said on Friday it was recalling specific baby formula batches in targeted markets, as a toxin contamination scare that started with Nestle products continued to spread. "Danone will withdraw from targeted markets a very limited number of specific batches of infant formula products," the company said in a statement. Cereulide had been detected in an infant formula ingredient called arachidonic acid oil that had been manufactured in China, it said. "The FSAI has been notified by Danone that none of the implicated products have been distributed in Ireland." French investigators are examining the deaths of two infants who had consumed baby formula products that were subject to a precautionary recall earlier this month, the French health ministry said on Friday.
