A Haribo spokesperson said that independent tests have been performed by a laboratory. “The test included the testing of preserved production monsters of the potentially affected party, the raw materials used during production, as well as products that were already on the Dutch market.” All the results of these tests were negative and, according to the spokesman, show that there is no proof of contamination. “Our internal studies also show that there were no irregularities in our production processes.”

It remains unclear how the soft drugs ended up in the sweets. “We continue to work closely with the authorities to understand if there could be another explanation for these reports,” says Haribo spokesperson.
