PARIS (Jan 26): French food and beverage maker Vitagermine has recalled specific batches of baby formula as a precautionary measure, it said on Sunday, as a toxin contamination scare continued to spread. Babybio, a brand of privately-owned Vitagermine, said on its website it had recalled three specific batches of infant formula. "The results we have just received have led us to take the decision today to withdraw three batches strictly limited to Optima 1 infant formula for newborns." French investigators are examining the deaths of two infants who had consumed baby formula products that were recalled.
