The government has advised Hong Kong shops to remove Haribo gummy products from their shelves, after traces of cannabis were found in the firm's cola-flavoured gummies in the Netherlands.
Dutch authorities had earlier told the public that consuming the brand's Happy Cola F!ZZ may lead to symptoms such as dizziness.
The Centre for Food Safety said on Sunday that though it has not received any such reports, the authorities will inspect these products.
"For prudence sake, the trade [is] advised to [take] off shelf all the products...of the relevant brand temporarily," it wrote.

Hong Kong suspends imports of Japanese Kochi ice cream product over bacteria
Hong Kong health authorities have issued a food safety alert and suspended imports of a Japanese ice cream product after discovering coliform bacteria levels well above legal limits. The black tea-flavoured ice cream, branded as Kochi Ice and imported by Shin Tai Ho (Hong Kong) Company, was found to contain 140 coliform bacteria per gram, above the regulated threshold of 100. The Centre for Food Safety disclosed the findings on Monday following routine testing at the import level under its Food Surveillance Programme. The bacteria is from the same genus as E coli and can cause diarrhoea and other dysenteric symptoms. The ice cream, packaged in 115ml portions with a best-before date of April 18, 2027, had already entered the local market before the warning. Authorities stressed that while the contamination did not necessarily cause food poisoning, it was a sign of unsatisfactory hygiene standards during production.

Big rules move set to ban mini konjac jelly cups
Big rules move set to ban mini konjac jelly cups The Centre for Food Safety says it will continue educating the public on the choking dangers of jellies that contain konjac. Photo: RTHK The Centre for Food Safety says proposals for new regulations covering konjac-containing jelly confectionery to avoid choking incidents will be tabled in the Legislative Council next week. The amendments include a ban on konjac-containing jelly products coming in cups with heights and widths of under 45 millimetres. Labels cautioning against swallowing a jelly whole as well as elderly and children consumption without supervision should also be clearly underlined. The centre says there is likely to be a small effect on current trade as its market survey shows that only about 8 percent of konjac-containing jelly products fall under the regulated size. The new regulations are expected to take effect starting from April, about six months after negative vetting. The centre's community medicine consultant, Dr Terence Cheung, says that will give the trade enough time to make the necessary adjustments to warning labels on products. "Well actually we have consulted Legislative Council members and we did not hear any significant objection on these proposed amendments," he said. He added that the centre will conduct inspections on products that are on the market and check for violations. Cheung said warning letters will be issued before the commencement of the regulations, and enforcement actions will be taken afterwards, with offenders facing fines of HK$50,000 and imprisonment of up to six months. "We are planning to conduct technical meetings with the trade, and prepare trade guidelines to facilitate them to comply with our new requirements," he said.

Hong Kong could ban mini konjac-jelly cups from April 2026 over choking risk
Hong Kong has proposed banning the sale of mini konjac-jelly cups from April next year over the products' choking-hazard risk, with anyone caught selling such goods to face a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a fine of up to HK$50,000 (US$6,370). The amendments will be tabled in the Legislative Council next Wednesday. If passed, it will see mini-cup jellies containing konjac with a height or width of 45mm (1.77 inches) or less banned starting April 1. All other konjac-jelly products would also be required to come with a warning sign. The proposed amendments to the Food and Drugs (Composition and Labelling) Regulations were prompted by a coroner's suggestion last year that such products should be prohibited due to the risk of choking. The recommendation followed the death of a seven-year-old girl in 2021, who was determined to have died from choking on confectionery jelly at school. 'Non cup-shaped konjac jellies are usually consumed through a small opening in the packaging, while larger or non pre-packaged konjac jelly is typically eaten with a teaspoon, posing a relatively lower choking risk,' said Dr Cheung Yung-yan, a consultant with the Centre for Food Safety.
