(Jan 21): A tainted infant formula crisis that started with Nestlé SA is deepening globally with French manufacturers Danone SA and Groupe Lactalis pulling products potentially contaminated with a toxin. A Danone formula product was also pulled from shelves in Singapore. News that the contamination crisis is potentially spreading is a worrisome development for a highly regulated food product that millions of parents rely on globally. A public health agency in Brazil has also said that two babies were ill, potentially caused by Nestlé formula. Clinical evidence is needed to definitively prove a sickness has been caused by the consumption of a food product, it said.
