Police detain suspect in case of rat poison found in baby food jars on European supermarket shelves

Police HiPP
  • A 39-year-old suspect has been arrested in eastern Austria after rat poison was discovered in HiPP baby food jars on supermarket shelves.
  • The investigation began after poison was found in a baby food jar purchased in Eisenstadt on 18 April, leading to an inquiry into suspected "intentional endangerment of the public."
  • HiPP had previously recalled some of its baby food jars in Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic as a precautionary measure.
  • Authorities confirmed that five tampered baby food jars were seized before consumption, with no one reported to have eaten the contaminated product.
  • HiPP stated it was a "victim of extortion," having received a message from an unspecified "blackmailer" before alerting the police.
