Inspections conducted in Austria and the Czech Republic showed that baby food may contain toxic substances used against rodents. This information was immediately disseminated through international rapid alert systems.
HIPP explained the situation as a supplier error or technical glitch. However, parents are greatly concerned about children's health.
Situation on the Kazakhstan market: What do experts say?
The Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan has taken this issue under control. According to official data, the serial numbers of dangerous batches withdrawn from sale in Europe do not match goods imported to Kazakhstan.
Specialists conducted selective laboratory tests in major retail chains and stores across the country. Currently, no toxic substances have been found in HIPP products on sale.
However, experts warn about the "gray market." Products purchased online or from individuals may not have undergone official inspection.
Advice for consumers: How to check product safety?
When buying baby food, it is best to trust only large supermarkets and pharmacies with certificates. You can also compare the product number with the list of "recalled batches" published on the manufacturer's official website.
Specialists from the Kazakhstan Academy of Nutrition note that even very small doses of toxic substances are harmful to a child's kidneys and liver, urging parents to be extremely vigilant.
Currently, no danger has been detected in official products sold in Kazakhstan, but caution does not hurt.
