PARIS (Reuters) – French prosecutors have launched a preliminary criminal investigation after E. coli cases emerged in one of the pizza plants of Nestle’s Buitoni brand that possibly lead to the death of two children, French BFM television said, citing prosecutors.
Nestle France was not immediately available for comment.
French news agency AFP reported that an investigative judge has now been appointed to formally look into the case.
