Sri Lanka temporarily halts some Fonterra product sales - Reuters

FXStreet (Bali) - Sri Lanka has temporarily halted some Fonterra product sales after some consumers felt sick post consumption, Reuters reports.

According to Reuters: "Sri Lanka has suspended the sale of some Anchor milk powder made by Fonterra after some children consumed the product and fell ill, government health officials said on Sunday. However Fonterra, a New Zealand dairy giant, said independent investigations into the three batches concerned proved that they were safe to consume."

Milk powder exports to Sri Lanka, adds Reuters, "account for roughly 2 percent of New Zealand's overall dairy exports."
