Austrian police said late last night that rat poison was found in a jar of HiPP baby food, prompting the product to be withdrawn from more than 1,000 SPAR supermarkets in the country.

The Germany-based HiPP had recalled the jars, suggesting they were tampered with. The contaminated jars were also found in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
