The agency also told Dutch broadcaster Hart van Nederland that "samples were taken' from the affected bags 'and cannabis was found in them." The NVWA added to the outlet that they 'immediately contacted Haribo," and the company "issued a safety warning." In a post on its website, the NVWA wrote, "There are bags in circulation with sweets that can lead to health complaints, such as dizziness, when consumed." According to the NVWA, any gummies with a product code of 'L341-4002307906' and a best-before date of January 2026 have been recalled as a precaution. Customers who bought the product are encouraged to contact Haribo for a refund instead of returning them to where the gummies were purchased. How many bags total that may have be affected by the contamination is still unknown, and the NVWA has not yet shared how the contamination may have occurred. Haribo, a company spokesperson told the BBC, is currently working with police to "establish the facts around the contamination.' According to Haribo, Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies packaged with other production codes are safe to eat, as are all other products under the company. Haribo added that the recall also only extends to Haribo's Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies in the Netherlands, with no other regions affected. A representative for Haribo did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday, May 31. Read the original article on People
