HiPP said the recall was a precaution after a sample tested positive for rat poison, and authorities are investigating possible tampering.
- Austrian authorities ordered a recall of HiPP 'Carrot with potato, 190g' baby food following suspicion that units may have been tampered with using rat poison.
- The Burgenland State Criminal Investigation Office launched a criminal probe after at least one seized jar tested positive for rat poison, prompting the precautionary measure.
- HiPP advised consumers to return affected jars to retailers including SPAR, noting the manufacturer cannot exclude the possibility that products were tampered with before reaching shelves.
- Officials have reported no arrests and have not identified any suspects, while authorities continue testing to determine whether the issue affects a limited batch or wider distribution.
- Baby food products are subject to strict safety controls across the European Union, and authorities committed to providing further updates once more information becomes available.
