Demand for foreign-made baby milk in China is strong after contaminated baby formula killed six infants in 2008. Retailers in the UK are rationing sales of powdered baby milk because of a surge in demand in China. Danone, the manufacturer of Aptamil and Cow and Gate baby milk powder, said most supermarkets were introducing a restriction of two cans per customer. It said the limit was to prevent some individuals from bulk-buying baby milk for "unofficial exports". Retailers were also capping sales of Nestle's SMA milk, despite the company saying there were no stock shortages. |
