Dairy giant admits guilt
Print Edition
NEW Zealand dairy giant Fonterra said Thursday it had pleaded guilty to food safety charges brought after a botulism scare last year that prompted global recalls of baby formula.
While the scare turned out to be a false alarm, the Ministry of Primary Industries laid four charges against the company, including exporting a product that did not meet standards and failing to tell authorities about a potential problem as soon as possible.
Fonterra said it would not contest the charges, which each carry a maximum penalty of NZ$500,000 (US$427,000).
“We have entered guilty pleas,” Fonterra spokeswoman Maury Leyland told public radio.
The move comes as Prime Minister John Key prepares to visit China next week.
