WELLINGTON (AP) – New Zealand authorities have triggered a global recall of up to 1,000 tonnes of dairy products across seven countries after dairy giant Fonterra announced that tests had turned up a type of bacteria that could cause botulism.
The Centres for Disease Control describes botulism as a rare but sometimes fatal paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin.
New Zealand’s Ministry of Primary Industries said on Saturday that the tainted products include infant formula, sports drinks, protein drinks and other beverages. It said countries affected beside New Zealand include China, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia.
Fonterra said its customers were urgently checking their supply chains.
