Police in Austria have warned about potentially poisoned HiPP baby food circulating in the country, after a sample of the brand's purée tested positive for rat poison. In a statement, police in Burgenland in eastern Austria said the poisoned food had been found in a carrot and potato jar which had been reported by a customer in the regional capital, Eisenstadt. Fortunately, their baby did not consume the food. The jar had apparently been tampered with, police said. On Saturday, HiPP recalled its entire range of jarred purées sold in Spar supermarkets in Austria, stating that consuming them may be potentially 'life-threatening.' Authorities suspect at least one more poisoned jar is still in circulation. The warning regarding the German-Swiss brand's products comes in light of ongoing investigations in neighboring Germany, where authorities had previously informed about potentially contaminated HiPP jars. The affected jar was seized and found to contain rat poison during examinations. Police are urging consumers to be vigilant and check for any suspicious signs in baby food products, while the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety has advised parents to consult doctors if their children display any symptoms of poisoning. Investigations are underway into intentional endangerment of the public, and customers have been instructed not to consume HiPP jars purchased at Eurospar, Interspar, and Maximarkt. The incident follows previous recalls involving other baby food brands due to contamination.}
