Austrian police have arrested a 39-year-old man following the discovery of rat poison in baby food jars. The arrest comes after Swiss company HiPP issued a product recall last month due to contamination concerns.
The suspect is believed to have tampered with the baby food, leading to the recall of several batches. Authorities have not disclosed the motive behind the alleged tampering.
HiPP, a leading organic baby food manufacturer, initiated the recall as a precautionary measure after the poison was detected during routine quality checks. The company has urged customers to check their products and return any affected jars.
Police continue to investigate the case, and further details are expected to emerge as the inquiry progresses.
