Food Safety Department: 44 more batches of French milk contaminated with bacteria

While there are no test results for 10 batches of milk imported into Vietnam that are at risk of bacterial contamination, the Food Safety Department continues to receive information that 44 more batches of milk are at similar risk.

Following the warning information on December 12, 2017 and December 16, 2017 related to the discovery of Salmonella Agona infection in some children under 6 months old in France, the Food Safety Department continued to receive warning information from the INFOSAN Secretariat, updating 44 batches of nutritional products produced by the Lactalis Group, France, to the list of batches at risk of contamination.

Thus, since the date of receiving the warning on December 12, 2017, the INFOSAN Secretariat has provided information on a total of 54 shipments of 29 dairy products at risk of Salmonella Agona contamination.

The Food Safety Department has now notified relevant parties to recall all products on the warning list.

At the same time, the Food Safety Department recommends that organizations and individuals stop consuming and using products with the above batch number information and immediately inform the Food Safety Department if they detect products belonging to this warning batch on the market.
