HiPP is recalling some baby food jars in Austria after a sample tested positive for rat poison.

Officials believe the tampering occurred in 190-gram jars of carrot and potato baby food for 5-month-olds sold at SPAR supermarkets.

The sample tested positive on Saturday.

HiPP says it is recalling all jars sold at SPAR, EUROSPAR, INTERSPAR, and Maximarkt stores in Austria as a precaution.

Police say the tampered jars have a spoiled odor.

Authorities in Germany, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic are also investigating.
