Austria Police Warn of Poisoned HiPP Baby Food After Rat Poison Detected in Sample

Austrian police have warned about potentially poisoned HiPP baby food after a carrot and potato purée jar tested positive for rat poison. The contaminated jar was found in Eisenstadt, Burgenland, and had apparently been tampered with. HiPP recalled its entire range of jarred purées sold in Spar supermarkets across Austria on Saturday, warning consumption could be 'life-threatening'. Authorities believe at least one more poisoned jar is in circulation. Investigations are underway in Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia, with police urging parents to check for a white sticker with a red circle on jar bottoms and not to open suspicious products.
