French Dairy Giant Has CNCA Registration Suspended

On 5th of December, CNCA published a notice about the suspension of the overseas manufacturer qualification of Celia-Laiterie De Craon. This decision followed the French Ministry of Health and Solidarity announcement of the emergency recall of 12 batches of Lait Picot SL, Pepti Junior and Milumel Bio formulae for suspected Salmonella contamination. So far, the mentioned products haven’t been exported to China through normal trade channels and their manufacturer (owned by the French dairy giant Lactalis group) won’t be able to do so unless their CNCA accreditation is reinstated. This will also significantly impact their formula registration.
