According to Yacoub, the investigation is limited to products that were manufactured using dairy from a specific farm and that went rotten when boiled. The investigation is also not connected to a separate issue Lactalis is facing over salmonella contamination in its baby milk products. The CPA reached an agreement with Lactalis-Halawa to announce that it will recall the faulty products and pinpoint the problem to ensure it is resolved.
