Rat poison found in HiPP baby food jar in Austria, police say

 Rat poison was found inside a jar of HiPP baby food, Austrian ‌police said late on Saturday after the product was recalled from 1,500 SPAR supermarkets in the country over safety fears.

A statement from police in Burgenland said that a sample from one of the 190-gram jars of carrot with potato baby food ​reported by a customer in the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district had tested positive for rat poison.

HiPP had ​said on Saturday that it could not be ruled out that a dangerous substance ⁠was introduced into the product and that its HiPP Vegetable Carrot with Potato jars may have ​been tampered with.
