Haribo Recalls Sweets After Cannabis Traces Detected in Netherlands
Haribo has recalled its popular Happy Cola F!ZZ sweets in the Netherlands after some packs were found to contain traces of cannabis. Several people, including members of the same family, felt unwell after eating from a 1kg bag.
One consumer reported feeling dizzy, prompting an investigation by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). Officials tested samples and found cannabis in three of the packs.

What to Look For
If you live in the Netherlands and recently bought Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ, check the following details:
- Product: Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ
- Weight: 1kg pack
- Best Before: January 2026
- Sold In: The Netherlands only
Do not eat the product. Instead, return it to the store or follow instructions from local health authorities.

Why Is This Serious?
Cannabis can cause symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and nausea—especially in children or people who didn’t know they were consuming it. Unintentional ingestion can pose serious health risks.
The NVWA warned that more packs could be in circulation. They encouraged people to report symptoms and stop eating the sweets immediately.
What’s Next?
Haribo acted quickly by pulling the product and issuing a public warning. The investigation is ongoing, but the focus remains on protecting consumer safety and identifying how cannabis got into the product.
Until more information becomes available, people in the Netherlands should avoid eating Happy Cola F!ZZ sweets from affected batches. | Cannabis candy Recall
