An investigation into the suspected public danger is now underway, while an expert report on the toxicity of the poison is still pending.<\/p>\n

Officials say the five tampered jars were intercepted before they could be consumed.<\/p>\n

The affected products were carrot-and-potato baby food for infants up to five months of age, sold in SPAR supermarkets in Austria.<\/p>\n

Police said the affected jars were marked with a white sticker and a red circle at the bottom. <\/p>\n

Hypp stressed that the recall was purely precautionary and not due to any manufacturing defect. <\/p>\n

He said the products had left its facilities in perfect condition. <\/p>\n

Store owners said customers will receive full refunds on returned products.<\/p>\n

Police have advised customers to wash their hands thoroughly if they come in contact with any of the suspicious jars. <\/p>\n

Authorities were first alerted when a customer reported that a jar had been tampered with.<\/p>\n

Hypp also said he was a victim of extortion after someone sent a message on a shared mailbox, prompting him to immediately inform the police.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.<\/p>\n

The incident follows a series of recent food safety scares involving baby products.<\/p>\n

In February, dozens of children fell ill after consuming infant formula contaminated with a dangerous toxin. <\/p>\n

Food giant Nestle recalled more than 60 batches of formula suspected of containing cerulide. <\/p>\n

This toxin is produced by some strains of the Bacillus cereus bacteria and can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea.<\/p>\n
