On April 15, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving assorted flavored lollipops that contained detectable levels of CBD and hemp extracts. This issue originated in the Netherlands and falls under the category of bio-contaminants. The detection of these substances in the confectionery raised concerns regarding compliance with food safety regulations.
The incident was communicated through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), which serves as a critical tool for ensuring food safety across European countries. The presence of CBD and hemp extracts in food products is subject to strict regulatory scrutiny, and the discovery in lollipops highlights the importance of monitoring food products for potential contaminants.
