A French baby food manufacturer has been called to lift rafts around the world on the grounds that its products carry the salmonella virus.
Lactalis, the manufacturer of baby products, has decided to stop selling products worldwide because it infected salmonella viruses in infants.
Salmonella has been reported to have been infected with 26 newborn babies in France since December, in a statement made by a company known as a baby-poisoned virus.
The virus, which is believed to have appeared in the company's first plant in Craon, France, is a major health hazard in newborn babies and elderly people due to the risk of fluid loss. Salmonella virus is spread from farm animals and people with symptoms such as vomiting, high fever and diarrhea.
All the products produced between February and December were withdrawn at Craon's plant, officials said, dismantling all the machines in the factory and taking many precautions.
Until a second explanation, it was decided to stop sales of Lactalis baby products, which are expected to contain viruses, in UK, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan countries, which are exported not only in France but also in the company's products.
