It is assumed at least one more poisoned jar is in circulation, a police spokesman told the Austria Press Agency (Apa) on Sunday. <\/p>\n
In its statement, the Burgenland police said the warning about the German-Swiss brand’s products was being issued following ongoing investigations in neighbouring Germany. <\/p>\n
As part of these investigations, it said authorities had been informed about potentially contaminated HiPP jars circulating in Eisenstadt. <\/p>\n
There police seized the carrots and potatoes jar, which was found to contain rat poison after an examination on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Authorities are urging vigilance about any suspicious products, warning parents to look for damaged or open lids, a missing safety seal, unusual or spoiled odour, and a white sticker with a red circle on the bottom of the glass jar. <\/p>\n
A toxic additive was also found in similar jars seized by police after laboratory tests in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the police statement said. <\/p>\n
“Should you possess HiPP baby food with this marking or notice any irregularities: do not open it,” it warned. <\/p>\n
“Do not consume it under any circumstances or offer it to a small child.”<\/p>\n
The Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety warned parents whose babies have consumed the food to consult a doctor if their children show signs of bleeding, extreme weakness or paleness. <\/p>\n
The Eisenstadt public prosecutor’s office has also launched an investigation into intentional endangerment of the public, Apa reported. <\/p>\n
Customers have also been asked not to consume HiPP jars purchased at Eurospar, Interspar and Maximarkt, and to return them for a refund. <\/p>\n
There are more than 1,500 Spar shops across Austria. <\/p>\n
Police previously stressed baby food sold in other shops remained unaffected by the recall.<\/p>\n
HiPP’s baby formula was also unaffected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is assumed at least one more poisoned jar is in circulation, a police spokesman told the Austria…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-539385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
