Haribo recalls popular sweets found to contain CANNABIS as police launch probe into gummies that ‘made family fall ill’

HARIBO has recalled packets of sweets in the Netherlands found to contain cannabis.

It was reportedly discovered when a family fell ill after eating Happy Cola F!ZZ and contacted the police.

A spokesperson for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has announced the initiation of an inquiry into the purported occurrence.

The authority confirmed that “samples were taken and cannabis was found in them”.

“We immediately contacted Haribo and they issued a safety warning,” a spokesperson said.

“How the cannabis ended up in the sweets is still unknown. The police are investigating this further.”

A Haribo spokesperson said: “The incident is contained to the Netherlands, to a specific product and batch.

“Haribo products in the UK are not affected.

Emphasizing consumer safety as paramount, the spokesperson stated that Haribo has taken decisive action by issuing a product recall in the Netherlands.

“Haribo is working closely with the authorities to support their investigation and establish the facts around the contamination.”

The recall only applies to products with the production code L341-4002307906, it has been reported.

The company added that other production codes for Happy Cola F!ZZ are safe to eat – as are all other Haribo products.

People with items in the affected batch are requested to send them to the company, not to return it at a store.

A refund will then be issued.

It is unclear how large the contaminated batch was.

A separate batch of Haribo was also recalled last year due to pieces of wood, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

This recall affected Tangfastics across several Canadian regions.
