Countries across Central Europe have pulled HiPP-branded baby food off shelves after rat poison was found in some jars.
Austria's health minister urges caution when feeding young children.
The company recalled jars after samples in Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic were found to be contaminated.
Authorities believe tampering occurred.
HiPP says the recall is not due to a product defect.
The rat poison can prevent blood from clotting.
Symptoms of ingesting it may appear two to five days after consumption.
