Massive withdrawal from France due to salmonella risk
France recalled a batch of a brand of milk from the market due to the risk of being contaminated with salmonella in 2017. The announcement was made known through a statement from the country’s Ministry of Economy.
The product in question was produced by the Lactalis group, a company that distributes baby milk and works with foreign companies, including Gloria.

Grupo Gloria denounced for use of whey in Colombia
In 2019, the Bogotá authorities denounced eight companies, including Gloria Colombia (part of the Gloria Group), for adulterating their dairy product with whey. This lawsuit was filed by the president of Demogan, Roberto Ramírez Ocampo, who affirmed that the companies did not respect Decree 616 of 2006 Article 14 of Colombia.
The list is made up of the companies Productos Alimenticios el Recreo SAS, Alimentos del Valle SA (Alival), Doña Leche Alimentos SA, Productos Lácteos Colfrance, Parmalat Colombia Ltda., Compañía Lechera el Mortiño SAS, Lácteos la Esmeralda SAS and Laktoland SAS (Formerly CEUCO).
“These analyzes were carried out by the Muva laboratory in Germany, which determined that the product was adulterated and that certain brands add whey. When delivering adulterated milk, we do not know the controls and components that this final product has, “Demogan told the Colombian newspaper Dinero.
Against this background, the general manager of Grupo Gloria’s International Food Division, Diego Rosado, responded by assuring that they did not use whey in their productions for Colombia. “It is an element that is used in infant formulas, given its high protein content,” he assured the newspaper Gestión.
