Traces of cannabis found in Haribo Cola candy in the Netherlands
Haribo is recalling packs of sweets in the Netherlands after some were found to contain traces of cannabis.
The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Agency (NVWA) warned any potential customers of the 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) bags of Happy Cola F!ZZ not to eat the sweets because they may cause dizziness.
NVWA spokesperson Saida Ahyad told French news agency AFP that, "Cannabis was found in the cola bottles in question."
The NVWA also said the issue only concerns three bags so far but all stock has been recalled as a precaution, adding that it is working with authorities to investigate the cause of the contamination.
Local Dutch media reported that a family in Twente became "quite ill" after eating the candy and reported the incident to police. After a forensic investigation, police discovered traces of cannabis and alerted the NVWA, according to the media reports.
A Haribo spokesperson told CBS News sister network BBC News it was working with police to "establish the facts around the contamination."
Haribo Vice-President of Marketing told AFP the incident is "a live issue and we are working closely with the Dutch authorities to support their investigation and establish the facts."
The recall applies to the items under the production code L341-4002307906, with a best before date of January 2026.

Meta's Llama AI Team Suffers Talent Exodus As Top Researchers Join $2B Mistral AI, Backed By Andreessen Horowitz And Salesforce
, a Paris-based startup founded by former Meta (NASDAQ:META) researchers Guillaume Lample and Timothée Lacroix, is rapidly emerging as a key player in the open-source AI space, and it's doing so with Meta's top talent. The tech giant is contending with a major loss of talent within its AI division as the architects behind its flagship Llama models exit the company. According to Business Insider, only three of the 14 researchers credited on the 2023 Llama paper remain employed at Meta. Five of the Llama paper's co-authors have joined Mistral in the past 18 months, intensifying scrutiny around Meta's ability to retain top-tier AI personnel, Business Insider reports. Don't Miss: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Backed by $2 billion in funding, Mistral AI is rapidly gaining ground as one of the most aggressive challengers in the open-source AI space. As reported by TechCrunch, the company is supported by premier venture firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), all known for placing high-stakes bets on transformative technologies. Other notable backers include Bpifrance, Xavier Niel, Eric Schmidt, General Catalyst, and BNP Paribas, reflecting deep institutional and individual confidence in Mistral's long-term vision. Founded in 2023, Mistral is building advanced open-weight AI models that directly compete with Meta's Llama family. Its approach appeals to developers seeking transparency and customization in contrast to the closed nature of proprietary systems. With former Meta researchers such as Marie-Anne Lachaux, Thibaut Lavril, and Baptiste Rozière now working alongside Mistral's founders, the company may lead the next wave of open-source innovation, Business Insider reports. Trending: Meta's previous dominance in this space was largely defined by its decision to release Llama models with open access to their architecture and training data. According to Business Insider, that move helped validate open-weight large language models as viable alternatives to proprietary giants like OpenAI and Google. But with the original architects of Llama now working elsewhere, Meta's early lead is under pressure. Meta's internal AI leadership is undergoing a shift as well. In April, longtime executive Joelle Pineau stepped away from her role leading the Fundamental AI Research group after eight years. Taking over the position is Robert Fergus, a FAIR co-founder and former DeepMind scientist, marking a return to Meta following a five-year stint at Google's AI lab, Business Insider says. Separately, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta's largest AI model to date, dubbed Behemoth, has been delayed due to internal concerns over performance and direction. Meanwhile, Business Insider notes that developers are increasingly turning to faster-evolving alternatives such as Qwen and DeepSeek following the Llama 4 investing billions into AI infrastructure, Meta still lacks a model explicitly focused on reasoning tasks, such as multi-step problem-solving or tool use. According to Business Insider, competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic are moving quickly to prioritize those capabilities, and without that strategic leap, Meta's influence over the open-source ecosystem may continue to decline. Of the 11 researchers who left Meta since the Llama paper's publication, most had been with the company for more than five years, according to LinkedIn profiles reviewed by Business Insider. Some departed as recently as February. Their exits mark a significant shift in Meta's AI capabilities and raise questions about the company's ability to maintain its leadership in the field.

Youthful Paris Saint-Germain flaunt maturity beyond their years to finally reach Champions League summit
Paris Saint-Germain matured, moved away from the superstars, and so the stars aligned for them. Producing the biggest margin of victory in the 70-year history of the European Cup final, Luis Enrique's sensational side obliterated Inter Milan 5-0 here in Munich's Allianz Arena. Advertisement The Champions League trophy is finally PSG's — seen as the pinnacle of their ambition when the club was purchased by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011. They have had to learn the hard way, realising that littering the team with the individual brilliance of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar was no guarantee of European success. PSG and their chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi did away with all that and now have their reward: a winning formula led from the front by youthful French attackers Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and their unassuming poster boy Ousmane Dembele. Enrique told his players when Mbappe left for Real Madrid that, without him, they would score more. That's proven prophetic. After the semi-finals in 2021 and last year, and the final in 2020, at last the European crown is theirs. Doue scored two and assisted another to help PSG on their way (AP) Inter were deserving finalists, having knocked out Bayern Munich and stunned Barcelona in perhaps the greatest semi-final tie of all time, but were never remotely close to landing their fourth crown and, as in 2023, were beaten finalists. Advertisement The goals came from 19-year-old Doue, who scored twice, and from ex-Inter man Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu but could have come from anyone in that rampant front-line. It felt telling when, the night before the final, PSG's captain Marquinhos — who has lived through everything at the club, the highs and the lows, for 12 years — admitted this iteration of the team is the one he has had the most fun playing in. And so the fun began again. Barely a minute was needed for the match to take up its expected status quo, PSG passing and probing and searching for spaces Inter hadn't meant to leave unmanned. Patient though their possession was for the first 10 minutes, the arrival of a handful of red flares behind the PSG goal seemed to stoke the fire in them at the other end. The opening goal on 12 minutes was followed by a second just eight minutes later. Both showed PSG at their scintillating best. Advertisement Their midfield maestro Vitinha played the killer pass, bisecting Inter's defence and allowing Doue (energetic and front-footed throughout) to square for Hakimi. the 19-year-old mayulu epitomised PSG's new generation (AFP via Getty Images) Their second had everything: pace, panache, and dogged defending. What started at one end as Ecuadorian centre-back William Pacho clearing the ball off the line to prevent an Inter corner quickly became a breathtaking counter-attack, Kvaratskhelia setting Dembele free to run at Inter and then drift a cultured pass wide right for Doue to control and volley in via a deflection, PSG in total command. Now was the time to strike back for Inter, but both Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram headed wide from corners as PSG's confidence only grew. Inter misplaced passes and played without tempo or rhythm, hamstrung. Advertisement Misses by Kvaratskhelia were the final action of the first half and the first action of the second. There was to be no letting up. a cut above the rest: luis enrique (AP) And it only became more emphatic for PSG, more gruelling for the Nerazzurri, as Doue latched on to a through-ball from the outstanding Vitinha and coolly found the corner. Doue, a teenager, had two goals and an assist in the Champions League final. Not bad. Enrique and his coaching staff celebrated every goal the same, bouncing up and down in a huddle, but when Dembele fed Kvaratskhelia to slam home the fourth, the PSG bench stormed onto the pitch on a night that could not get any better. Advertisement Except it could. As the Munich heat held late into the night, substitute Mayulu — 19 years of age, born eight miles from the centre of Paris — added a fifth. PSG came 15th in the league phase and lost five games en route to this final. Inter, meanwhile, just one, breaking a record in that same league phase by keeping clean sheets in seven of their games. Inter were the oldest team in the knockout stages and manager Simone Inzaghi named a starting line-up with an average age five-and-a-half years younger than their opponents, but after a spirited run where he has squeezed the absolute most out of an ageing squad, their run was finally up. The vast experience in their ranks counted for nothing as PSG came of age and delivered the French capital European glory at long last.
