PARIS, Jan 21 (Reuters) – French dairy group Lactalis ‍said on Wednesday it was recalling six batches of baby ‌milk of the ‌Picot brand in France, due to the presence of cereulide ​in an ingredient sourced ‍from ​a supplier.

Cereulide, ​a substance of ‍bacterial origin, may cause diarrhoea and vomiting, the statement said.

The ‍toxin was also the cause for ‍a ‍recall by ​Nestle of ​some ⁠batches of baby ‌milk formula earlier this month.
