1. Danone Announces Targeted Infant Formula Recall
Danone (DANOY) has initiated a targeted recall of a very limited number of infant formula batches produced in Ireland, following evolving guidance from local food safety authorities. The recall affects select markets in Europe and Asia and represents less than 0.5% of Danone’s global Specialized Nutrition sales, which totaled €7.2 billion in 2024. Danone emphasized that all routine control measures and additional analyses confirm its products remain safe and fully compliant with EU and local regulations. The recall will incur a one-time charge estimated at €15 million to cover logistics and disposal, but Danone expects limited disruption to overall sales in its €27.4 billion global business. Management reaffirmed its commitment to quality and food safety and has bolstered consumer support via expanded careline staffing to handle inquiries from parents and healthcare professionals.
