PARIS, March 6 (Reuters) – A judicial inquiry launched in France after the death of a baby has shown no link with the recalled Nestle infant formula he has consumed, the Bordeaux prosecutor said on Friday.
Cereulide, a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting, was detected in ingredients from a supplier in China for several infant formula makers, triggering precautionary recalls in dozens of countries and raising concerns among parents.
“Based on the current state of the investigation, the infant’s death does not appear to be linked to the formula used for feeding,” the prosecutor said in a statement.
The analyses carried out on the powdered and reconstituted milk produced by Nestle consumed by the infant shortly before his death did not detect any cereulide, it said.
