New Zealand’s Prime Minister, John Key, has launched a ministerial-level inquiry into a botulism scare at dairy giant Fonterra.
Fonterra said last week that batches of concentrated whey product used in infant formula that were exported to China and elsewhere could contain botulism-causing bacteria.
The government inquiry will be over by the end of the year, Mr Key said.
Fonterra has announced two of its own internal investigations.
The Ministry for Primary Industries has also said it will conduct a separate inquiry.
