Hipp confirms extortion attempt after poisoned baby food found in Austria

As a German company, Hipp takes its responsibility for consumer safety extremely seriously. The recent incident involving a manipulated jar of baby food in Austria is deeply concerning and represents a criminal act of extortion outside of our control. We immediately informed the authorities and established an internal crisis team to address the situation. It is crucial to emphasize that this incident is not a reflection of our product quality, which remains our top priority. We are working closely with law enforcement in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia to apprehend the perpetrator and ensure the safety of our consumers. The trust parents place in our products is paramount, and we are committed to upholding that trust through rigorous quality control and swift action in response to such malicious acts.
