HCM CITY (Biz Hub)– New Zealand whey protein producer Fonterra did not supply bacteria-tainted batches to FrieslandCampina, the dairy maker has claimed in a press release.
The Dutch company said Vietnamese consumers can be assured that its Friso and Dutch Lady are safe for consumption.
Three batches of whey protein concentrate produced by Fonterra contained traces of Clostridium botulinum, which causes the deadly botulism.
