Recently, multiple bags of Haribo candy in the eastern Netherlands were detected to contain marijuana, which attracted widespread local attention. According to reports, Haribao has confirmed that traces of marijuana have been detected in some one-kilogram cola-flavored candies sold in the eastern market of the country. A number of consumers, including children and adults, have felt unwell after eating the candy in question. Although contaminated candy is currently limited to the eastern part of the country, a Dutch Food and Drug Administration spokesperson has advised consumers across the country to stop eating this batch of products until the investigation is over. The product involved is a one-kilogram package, and the shelf life is marked as January 2026. A spokesman for Harry Bao's Dutch office said the recall was a precautionary measure, and the company was fully cooperating with the investigation, and emphasized that the current problem seemed limited to “specific batches of products with limited number of reports and clear regions.” Currently, the Dutch Food and Drug Administration is tracking the origin of the product and potential contamination channels, and the police have yet to announce whether it involves deliberate acts or man-made crimes.
