France has banned the sale and ordered a recall of several baby formula milk and baby food products made by French dairy giant Lactalis after the discovery of salmonella bacteria. Consumer protection agency DGCCRF said in a statement that Lactalis, the world's largest dairy company, had not managed contamination risk. <br/><br/>It has ordered the company to conduct a product recall and halt the sale and export of several baby food products made at its Craon plant in western France since February 15. <br/><br/>Twenty cases of salmonella infection of infants were reported in France during early December, which had already prompted a limited recall of 12 Lactalis products. <br/><br/>This week five new cases were reported of infection with the "salmonella agona" bacteria. Lactalis spokesman Michel Nalet said on BFM Television that the products can be exchanged in pharmacies or supermarkets. He said that any salmonella bacteria would be killed by boiling the milk for two minutes.
