Haribo has recalled a batch of its popular Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies in the Netherlands after consumers reported dizziness, prompting an investigation that revealed possible cannabis contamination.
The recall was triggered after members of a Dutch family experienced unusual symptoms, like dizziness, after eating the soda-shaped candies, local outlet Hart van Nederland reported. Their complaints led to a probe by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), which confirmed traces of cannabis in the sampled gummies.
On Monday, Haribo announced it had issued a full recall across the Netherlands for the affected product. The company said it is cooperating with Dutch authorities to determine how the contamination occurred.
