The media reported the discovery of cannabis in a batch of Haribo candies in the Netherlands

Cannabis has been found in a batch of Happy Cola F!ZZ chewable candies from Haribo. This was reported by The Independent on May 29.

It is clarified that cannabis was found after members of a family in the Netherlands felt dizzy after eating sweets and reported it to the police.

"Samples were taken, and cannabis was found in them. We immediately contacted Haribo and they issued a warning," the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) said.

Representatives of Haribo said that the company recalled the entire batch of products in the Netherlands as a precaution. The cause of cannabis contamination has not yet been established, and research is ongoing.
