Most of the milk powder had been distributed to Hangzhou, Shanghai and Guangzhou retailers, but all have since been pulled from shelves in those markets, the report said.
Nestle promised to meet China’s national standards and to take corresponding measures to exchange products or provide compensation and provide a service hotline to accept consumer complaints.
Nestle had said previously that the milk powder’s iodine content met international food standards for infants and children.
