The three global dairy giants have recalled infant formula because they used ingredients that contained cereulitde which could cause vomiting and diarrhea.
French dairy giant Lactalis announced a recall of six batches of its Picot brand infant formula in France and markets in 17 other countries including China, Australia and Spain.
Danone confirmed that a batch of its Dumex Dulac infant formula was removed from the Singapore market at the request of the Singapore Food Agency, which cited concerns related to the same contamination issue.
Nestlé was the first to issue recalls for its infant formulas sold in about 60 countries.
There was a time when a Chinese company built a plant to make infant formula in Ontario, but supply management squabbles nixed those plans.
