Based in France, Lactalis is one of the world's largest dairy producers. Since early December, health authorities in France have said that 26 infants, under the age of six, in the country have become sick.
It is understood the recall affects products and exports to countries including Britain, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan, and covers hundreds of baby milk powder products marketed around the globe under the Milumel, Picot and Celi brands.
Company spokesman Michel Nalet is quoted by AFP as saying "nearly 7,000 tonnes" of production may have been contaminated, but at the moment, the company is unable to say how much remains on the market, has been consumed or is in stock.
According to AFP, Lactalis believes the salmonella outbreak can be traced to a tower used to dry out the milk powder at its factory in the town of Craon in northwest France.
All products made at the factory since mid-February have been recalled and the company confirmed precautionary measures have been taken to disinfect all of its machinery at the factory.
The recall expands a health scare that started at the beginning of December. At the time, a limited recall was issued but regulators found the measures Lactalis had put in place to manage the contamination risk were not sufficient.
Salmonella bacteria can cause food poisoning and symptoms include diarrhoea, stomach cramps and vomiting. The illness is dangerous for the very young and elderly because of the risk of dehydration.
