Rat poison has been found in a jar of HiPP baby food, police in Austria have said, after a recall of the product from over 1,000 Spar supermarkets over safety fears.
Police in Burgenland said a sample from one of the 190g jars of carrots and potatoes baby food reported by a customer had tested positive for rat poison. HiPP had said it could not be ruled out a dangerous substance had been introduced into the product, and that its carrots and potatoes jars may have been tampered with, Guardian reports. Consuming the contents of the jars could be life-threatening, HiPP said.
