• At least three 1kg bags of Happy Cola F!ZZ bearing a January 2026 best-before date tested positive for cannabis, triggering the recall.
• Consumers reported dizziness and other health complaints after eating the laced sweets, prompting police to alert the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.
• The NVWA has taken samples and is investigating the contamination in coordination with Haribo to determine how THC infiltrated the production process.
