A senior manager at New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra has resigned in the wake of a botulism scare.

Gary Romano was the managing director of New Zealand Milk Products and oversaw the tainted product line that sparked a worldwide recall.

Fonterra announced this month that hundreds of tons of infant formula could be tainted, after tests found bacteria in whey protein concentrate that could cause botulism.

Fonterra said last week that a recall of the products had been successful, with no reported cases of botulism. Fonterra declined to comment on Romano's reason for leaving the company.
