Shocked: Julie Wakeling had fed six week-old Skahayla from the £10 tin of Cow & Gate anti-reflux formula when she spotted a needle lurking in the powdered milk
A leading baby food manufacturer is investigating after a mother found a two-inch needle in her tiny daughter's milk powder.
Julie Wakeling had already fed six week-old Skahayla from the £10 tin of Cow & Gate anti-reflux formula when she spotted the spike lurking in the powdered milk.
The angry 26-year-old from Sittingbourne in Kent had bought the tin in a supermarket near her home, and said that unnoticed the could have pierced her baby's bottle and cut the infant.
'It was as I did the last scoop I noticed something shiny,' she said.
'I moved the formula away with the scoop and then I could see it was a needle.
'I was worried because I had already fed her with some it from the tin. My main fear was that it was a contaminated needle.
'I'm concerned other tins may have been contaminated and would warn other mums to be on the look out.
'What if it had gone in the bottle and pierced the teat and hurt her mouth?'
Ms Wakeling,a mother-of-three, immediately complained to manufacturers Danone Baby Nutrition UK and has sent the company the needle for analysis.
Suzanne Kingsberry, quality affairs manager for Danone Baby Nutrition UK, said: 'We were concerned to hear from Miss Wakeling.
'We have not yet seen the product in question, however, we are keen to fully investigate this complaint and have arranged for the product to be returned to us for a full examination.
Find: Ms Wakeling, a mother of three, said the needle could have pierced her baby's bottle and cut the infant
'Once we have had the opportunity to investigate we will contact Miss Wakeling with our findings.
'We can reassure parents that this is an isolated incident and we have not received any similar complaints for any other Cow & Gate product.
'Cow & Gate are committed to manufacturing high-quality baby foods and parents can continue to use our products with confidence.'
Anger: Ms Wakeling immediately complained to manufacturers Danone Baby Nutrition UK and has sent the company the needle for analysis

I am worried that the next generation will not be able to have a real conversation.Don't think of cost. Think of value.Saying someone is ugly doesn't make you any prettier.If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right.
