Danone to sue NZ's Fronterra over baby formula recall


WELLINGTON/PARIS: French food group Danone said it would sue dairy exporter Fonterra and cut its supply contract with the New Zealand firm following a false alert that sparked the recall of infant formula across Asia.

The world's largest yoghurt maker did not say how much compensation it was seeking, but it has previously said it wanted full compensation for what it says were €350mil (US$476mil) in lost sales following the recall of its Dumex and Karicare infant formula products.
