    Rat poison found in HiPP baby food jar in Austria, police say

    Police in Austria have urged people to be vigilant after a sample of HiPP baby food was found to contain rat poison.

    Police in the eastern region of Burgenland said the poisoned jar of carrot and potato purée had been reported by a customer and that their baby had fortunately not consumed the food.

    The jar had apparently been tampered with, police said. Authorities believe at least one more poisoned jar is in circulation and have issued guidance on how to recognise tampered jars.

    They have not confirmed that the cases involve an alleged extortion attempt. But the police statement said the warning had come from German investigators and tampered jars had also been seized in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

    Police in Burgenland said in a statement that a sample from one of the 190g (7oz) jars of carrots and potatoes baby food reported by a customer had tested positive for rat poison.

    Rat race: inside Sydney’s Royal Easter Show rodent judging – where the winners are decided by a whisker

    The rat and mice event, which is run by the NSW Fancy Rodent Society, showcases ‘happy, healthy, functional and friendly’ animals

    If anyone knows, it’s Rachel Sydenham. With 30 years of experience as a rat keeper and breeder, she is judge of rat entries at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

    The rat and mice event is run by the NSW Fancy Rodent Society, bringing together a dedicated community.

    Sydenham lifts the lid off the clear container she’s been handed at the judges’ table. Inside, a brown rat is lounging. He curiously surveys the audience through shiny black eyes and an expressive face.

    There were cows, horses and enough Bertie Beetles to go around, but the elephant in the tent at the Sydney Royal Easter Show was the cost-of-living crisis sparked by rising fuel prices.

    Thousands flocked to day two, and by 9am on Friday the Showground was full of excited children and exhausted parents trying to navigate what is typically the busiest day of the event. For those who have worked the Show before, however, there was a notable difference in attendance.

    Speaking outside the Sea Circus Fun House, carnival ride operator Anthony Curran said there were fewer people than usual for Good Friday. He blamed it on the cost of living and the rising price of fuel.
