Oman's Food Safety and Quality Centre (FSQC) has requested people to avoid Haribo's Happy Cola F!ZZ candy because it is suspected to contain cannabis.
The Germany-based candy-maker, Haribo, recently recalled this candy in Netherlands after traces of cannabis were found in them.
Several people, including children, experienced symptoms like dizziness after consuming the candy from three one-kilogram packs.
The recall applies to the items under the production code L341-4002307906 with a best before date of January 2026.
Haribo issued a statement, explaining that they are working with the authorities to investigate how the cannabis was added to the products.
Haribo's vice president of marketing, Patrick Tax said, "This is a live issue and we are working closely with the Dutch authorities to support their investigation and establish the facts. The safety of our consumers is our highest priority, and Haribo takes this incident very seriously."
