Three infants have died in France after being given contaminated feed by a hospital in the Alps.

The French government has recalled a batch of nutrient bags following the deaths in early December.

The parents of the three newborns have filed criminal complaints for manslaughter against the hospital, located in the town of Chambery in southeast France.

Analyses of several unused IV bags showed they all contained bacteria.

France's health minister, Marisol Touraine, announced the batch had been withdrawn.

She called the deaths "an extremely grave accident".
