Overview

  • The recall covers 1 kg bags of Happy Cola F!ZZ marked with production code L341-4002307906 and best-before January 2026 after cannabis was detected in three packs.
  • Several consumers, including children from a Twente family, reported dizziness and illness after eating the cola-flavoured sweets.
  • Haribo has asked customers to send affected bags directly to the company for a full refund rather than return them to stores.
  • Authorities are examining whether the contamination stemmed from deliberate tampering or counterfeit products in the supply chain.
  • Haribo confirms the issue is limited to the Netherlands and that its products in other markets remain unaffected.
