Danone Infant Formula Recalls Expand in UK, Ireland

The UK, Ireland and the Netherlands joined a wave of European nations issuing recalls of Danone SA infant formula as the French company’s exposure to the contamination crisis deepens.

Some batches of Danone’s Aptamil and Cow & Gate formula brands will be taken off shelves in the UK and Ireland, according to statements on Friday from food safety agencies there. Dutch authorities said some Nutrilon products will be pulled over concerns they are contaminated with the toxin cereulide.
