Haribo is recalling its "entire stock" in one country after multiple bags of candy were discovered to have been contaminated by cannabis.
As reported by the BBC, several consumers in the Netherlands began to feel ill after eating sweets from a 1kg package of Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ.
The NVWA, which is the country's food safety body, said that "dizziness" was one symptom reported after consumption of the affected candies, telling Dutch broadcaster SBS6 that "samples were taken and cannabis was found in them."
So far, three affected packages have been identified, each with a best-before date of January 2026 and lot code of L341-4002307906. Haribo has recalled "its entire stock as a precaution," per the publication, though it's not clear if that refers to just the Happy Cola F!ZZ line or if it encompasses all of their products in the Netherlands.
A representative for the brand told the BBC that it's cooperating with law enforcement investigators to "establish the facts around the contamination" and is taking the incident "very seriously."
"Do not eat the sweets," the NVWA emphasized, though plenty of jokers online quipped things like, "You say contaminated. I say blessed," and, "But wait.... do you have any of those contaminated bags still? Asking for a friend."
