What happened

Baby formula by popular clean milk brand recalled over potentially harmful toxins Batches of baby formula have been recalled due to possible health risks.

Why it matters

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice on Saturday, May 2, that the a2 Milk Company has voluntarily recalled three batches of its a2 Platinum Premium USA 0-12 months tins.

Common ground

The presence of the toxin cereulide was found during product testing that was done to comply with new guidance from New Zealand’s food regulatory authority.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
