Friesland Campina has recalled 90 percent of its Dutch Lady Vivinal GOS-brand milk after the products were accused of causing allergies in children, the Dutch dairy firm said this week.
Truong Van Toan, head of the firm’s Legal Department, said the remaining 10 percent was hard to recall as consumers might have already used the products.
Friesland Campina had estimated the volume to be recalled at a total 3 million products. The company is still receiving the products from customers, Toan said.
Friesland Campina, formerly known as Dutch Lady Vietnam, introduced Dutch Lady Vivinal GOS to Vietnam in September. Last month, the Ho Chi Minh City-based Children Hospital No. 2 admitted 10 children with rashes and respiratory difficulties developed after consuming the milk.
The company said tests of 1,200 Vivina GOS samples conducted at a World Health Organization-authorized laboratory had found no relation between the milk and the allergies.
