Overview
- A new toxicology report says the jar seized near Eisenstadt contained 15 micrograms of rat poison, a dose not life-threatening for an infant but capable of reducing clotting and causing mild bleeding.
- Prosecutors in Eisenstadt continue to investigate for public endangerment and attempted serious bodily harm, with the new finding applying only to that single jar.
- A 39-year-old former HiPP manager remains in pre-trial detention and denies wrongdoing, as investigators examine rat poison seized from his home along with car navigation and smartwatch data.
- Police have confirmed five manipulated jars in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, are still searching for another jar sold in Eisenstadt, and German authorities are probing a possible extortion attempt against HiPP.
- Spar has put most HiPP items back on shelves after checks, replaced the full range around Eisenstadt, and reordered the 190-gram Carrot with Potato jar, easing some parental concern while the search and testing continue.
