\u201cAccording to the current state of knowledge, as officially confirmed by the authorities, the case concerns only clearly defined sales channels,\u201d a HiPP spokesman told AFP.<\/p>\n
\u201cProducts and distribution channels in Germany or other European countries that are not part of the investigation are not affected,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Consumer warning<\/p>\n
Austria\u2019s agency for food protection said that rat poison may have been introduced as part of an extortion scheme.<\/p>\n
Customers were asked not to consume the product, which can be identified by a white label with a red circle on the bottom of the jar, and instead return it to the store of purchase.<\/p>\n
Czech police also warned consumers via X.<\/p>\n
The scare is the latest to hit the baby food market.<\/p>\n
Since December, several manufacturers \u2013 including European giants such as Nestle, Danone and Lactalis \u2013 have issued recalls of infant formula in more than 60 countries that could be contaminated with the toxin cereulide.<\/p>\n
Several infants who consumed powdered milk containing cereulide \u2013 which can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea \u2013 have died, according to French authorities.<\/p>\n
French prosecutors said in March the death of one baby in January \u201cdoes not appear to be linked\u201d to the infant\u2019s consumption of contaminated formula.<\/p>\n
