This refers to a 190-gram jar with the product "Carrots and Potatoes". A sample submitted by one of the customers tested positive for the presence of a poisonous substance.
HiPP stated that consuming the contents of such jars could be life-threatening.
Police reported that similar jars seized in the Czech Republic and Slovakia also contained a toxic substance, according to preliminary laboratory tests.
Customers were advised not to consume products purchased at SPAR Austria and to return them to stores for a full refund.
In addition, the police advise thoroughly washing hands after contact with suspicious packaging.
