Haribo Recalls Lots of Happy Cola F!ZZ Candies in the Netherlands After Detection of Cannabis Traces in Packages
The candy manufacturer Haribo announced the recall of several lots of its Happy Cola F!ZZ candies in the Netherlands. The decision was made after traces of cannabis were detected in certain packages of the product.
The presence of the substance was confirmed by the NVWA, the authority responsible for food safety in the region. According to a spokesperson from Haribo, speaking to the BBC, the recall is a precautionary measure: “Consumer safety is our top priority. We are taking this incident very seriously“.
Authorities have reported that, so far, three contaminated packages have been identified. All are within the expiration date, set for January 2026. The products have the production code L341-4002307906.
