Inspections conducted in the markets of Austria and the Czech Republic have shown that baby food may contain toxic substances used against rodents. This information was immediately disseminated through international rapid alert systems.
HIPP company explained that this situation may be due to a mistake by raw material suppliers or a technical malfunction. However, there is great concern among parents regarding children's health.
Situation in 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 According to official data, the serial numbers of the hazardous batches withdrawn from sale in Europe do not match the goods imported into Kazakhstan.
Experts conducted selective laboratory tests in major retail chains and stores in the country. No toxic substances have been detected in HIPP products currently on sale.
However, experts warn to be cautious of the "gray market." Products purchased via the internet 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. Additionally, you can compare the product's number with the list of "recalled batches" published on the manufacturer's official website.
Experts from the Kazakhstan Academy of Nutrition state that even very small amounts of toxic substances are harmful to a child's kidneys and liver, urging parents to be as vigilant as possible.
Currently, no danger has been detected in official products sold in Kazakhstan, but caution does no harm.
