“A botulism scare that sparked global recalls of Fonterra milk products was a false alarm and there was never any danger to consumers, New Zealand officials said on Wednesday after new tests. The crisis led to infant formula being taken off shelves from China to Saudi Arabia earlier this month and damaged New Zealand’s ‘clean, green’ reputation in key Asian markets. The dairy industry accounts for about a quarter of New Zealand’s exports and ministry acting director-general Scott Gallacher said officials had been right to issue a public warning early.”
