Coma after enjoyment: Haribo fruit gum with cannabis in the Netherlands!

Niederlande, Niederlande - A worrying incident occurred in the Netherlands, where a toddler fell into a coma after eating Haribo fruit gum with cannabis. According to Vol.at , several people, including children, after consumption of the cancellation "Happy Cola F! ZZ". The Dutch Food and Product Safety Authority (NVWA) confirmed that cannabis traces were detected in three packs of this product.

The affected fruit gums were sold in shops in the Twente region, which led to an immediate recall campaign on the part of the manufacturer Haribo. The recall only affects one-kilo packs with the production code L341-4002307906 and a minimum preservation date by January 2026. Haribo made it clear that other products of the company are not affected and that they work closely with the Dutch authorities to clarify the causes of contamination.

serious health risks

The NVWA already warned that consumption of contaminated fruit gums can cause health problems such as dizziness. Especially for children, the consumption of cannabis could be dangerous, which underlines the urgency of the recall. The incident also triggered a discussion about the increasing spread of cannabis-containing foods that can easily be confused with conventional sweets, which increases the dangers for unsuspecting consumers.

The police have now initiated investigations to clarify the origin of the cannabis. According to Tageschau.de noted. These reactions have prompted Haribo to classify the incident as "serious" and to issue a security warning in which the consumed confectionery is advised.

support of the authorities

HARIBO emphasizes the security of consumers as the highest priority and actively works with the authorities. The NVWA also emphasizes that the recall takes place as a precaution, although cannabis was only detected in three bags. The situation remains tense because the efforts to clarify the incident continues and the concerns of consumers require the greatest attention.
