British consumers are being warned against purchasing Jolly Rancher sweets due to potential cancer risks, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The popular candies contain mineral oils, food additives that, when consumed regularly over time, may pose health risks, the FSA stated. These chemical compounds, including mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (Moah) and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (Mosh), are added to confectionery items to prevent stickiness and create a glossy appearance. However, their use does not comply with UK law.
