Global dairy giant Lactalis has integrated its Australian operations with the Mainland Dairy consumer business it acquired from Fonterra earlier this year.
OPINION: Media reports say global recalls tied to cereulide toxin contamination in milk-based nutrition brands could inflict combined financial losses exceeding $1 billion.
Three of the world's largest dairy producers - Nestlé, Danone and Lactalis - are grappling with major infant formula concerns over a toxic contaminant spread through global markets. The crisis began with Nestlé's recall of formula products in more than 60 countries due to traces of cereulide toxin, and other manufacturers have since initiated their own withdrawals in a widening safety scare.
The products are not available in supermarkets in New Zealand.
They are mainly publicly funded and available through hospitals, pharmacies, and GPs. A small amount could have been bought over the counter at pharmacies or online.

Fonterra board members are in line for a pay rise of around 3%.
Dairy processors are ready to further boost New Zealand’s export earnings but want the incoming government to match their ambition with good policy.
Massey University is best placed to solve the “problems” facing the dairy industry, says vice chancellor, Pierre Venter.
OPINION: It seems Canterbury processor Synlait is still in the doldrums.
OPINION: Get offside with New Zealand First leader Winston Peters at your own peril.
