Unidentified Substances Found in Haribo: "Avoid Consuming the Sweets!"
Haribo Recalls Happy Cola FZZ Gummies Over Cannabis Contamination
Following the discovery of cannabis in several packets of their Happy Cola FZZ gummies, German confectionery manufacturer Haribo has initiated a recall in the Netherlands. The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) confirmed the presence of cannabis in samples of the gummies, and several individuals, including children, have reported feeling unwell after consuming the candies.
Three one-kilo bags of the Happy Cola FZZ variety were found to be contaminated with cannabis, as per the announcement made by the NVWA on Thursday. As a precaution, Haribo has withdrawn the affected batch, which carries the potential to cause intoxication instead of the intended joy, according to the advertising slogan.
The NVWA advises against consuming these candies due to the risks associated with dizziness. Dutch authorities are currently conducting an investigation into how the intoxicating substance ended up in the Haribo packets.
Additional reports from the Dutch newspaper Hart van Nederland indicate that several members of a family fell ill after consuming the sour cola bottles and contacted the police. The exact method by which the contamination occurred remains under investigation.
The recall has been limited to the Netherlands, with no reported issues in other countries. Haribo is working diligently to identify the root cause of the contamination. The company has also extended refunds for affected products and encourages consumers to avoid consuming them.
