[LONDON] A pharmaceutical company will face charges over the supply of contaminated feed for premature babies, British police said Wednesday.

An investigation was launched after three babies died and another 20 needed treatment when they contracted septicaemia in 2014.

Following the probe, ITH Pharma has been charged with seven counts of supplying a medicinal product which was not of the nature or quality specified in the prescription on May 27, 2014, Scotland Yard police headquarters said in a statement.
