The baby formula S26, banned in Tanzania earlier this week, is under investigation by health authorities in South Africa.
The product is manufactured in Sandton, Johannesburg, by Aspen Pharmacare.
Tanzanian authorities banned it after reports that babies were getting sick after eating it.
However, no problems with the product have been reported in South Africa and Aspen says the product sold in Tanzania may be counterfeit.
National Health Department spokesperson Fidel Hadebe, says they are taking no chances, however, and the product is being tested.
