There is a suspected contamination of the powdered milk with cereulide, a toxin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus. When ingested, it can cause diarrhoea, cramps and vomiting in infants, which can be fatal for some young children.
The symptoms usually appear within 30 minutes to six hours after consumption.
