Haribo jelly with metallic particles. Issued a warning

Products contaminated with hazardous substances can be a nightmare for consumers and retailers alike. Unfortunately, sometimes, despite great care, accidents occur in the workplace, as a result of which food may be unfit for consumption. So it was recently, in the case of fruit drinks from Lidl. Now we have another sad piece of news about iconic chewing gums.

Haribo gummies are contaminated with metal

Stores have decided to recall some packaging of popular Haribo chewing gums after they were found to contain hazardous metals. The contamination was found in Denmark, but the products were also available, in particular in Germany. We are talking about the packaging of HARIBO Matador Mix jelly marmalades, which are distributed by Lakrids A/S 4640 Faxe, Denmark.

People who are abroad or those who order goods online are at risk, and there are many of them. Anyone who has previously purchased a defective product may return it to the store, but under no circumstances consume it. The consequences of using pills with metal can be very dangerous, because we are talking about the most dangerous substances for human health. Their consumption can disrupt the immune system, cause gene mutations, lead to allergies, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer.

The seized packaging has a characteristic marking. The labels feature the HARIBO slogan “Luk op for noget godt…luk op for HARIBO!” Customers should pay attention to the individual numbers:
