"HiPP, which bills itself as the world's top organic baby food brand, said at the time that its products were not tainted during production and the recall had been prompted by a criminal act under investigation by the authorities."
"The Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety advised anyone experiencing symptoms of poisoning, including bleeding, extreme weakness or paleness, to consult a medical professional."
"Rat poison interferes with the body's use of vitamin K, and symptoms typically appear two to five days after ingestion, according to the Austrian food safety agency."
A man was arrested in Austria following the discovery of rat poison in HiPP baby food jars. The Swiss company HiPP had issued a partial recall after authorities found toxic substances in products sold in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. HiPP stated that their products were not contaminated during production and that the recall was due to a criminal act. An extortionist had contacted the company. Authorities advised the public to avoid certain HiPP products and to seek medical help if experiencing poisoning symptoms.
