<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCustomers who were enjoying the Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies, including multiple members of a single family, said they felt \u201cdizziness\u201d after eating the sweets, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSamples were taken and cannabis was found in them,\u201d the agency told Dutch outlet Hart van Nederland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo not eat the sweets,\u201d the NVWA warned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, only a single batch of candy in the Netherlands is suspected of contamination \u2014 not supplies in the US or elsewhere, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haribo said it was working with police to investigate the contamination, with the NVWA finding at least three packs tainted with weed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haribo said it was recalling its entire stock in the Netherlands as a precaution, removing all bags with a best-before date of January 2026 from the shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company will also be issuing full refunds for all the packs returned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe safety of our consumers is our highest priority and Haribo takes this incident very seriously, which is why a recall has been issued in the Netherlands,\u201d the company said in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It remains unclear how many people became sick due to the contaminated batch, with officials noting that no breach occurred with any of Haribo\u2019s other candies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
