Two Jolly Rancher products from The Hershey Company have been added to a recent recall.
The Jolly Rancher Filled Pops and Freeze Dried Candy have today (19 January) been added to a list of the brand’s recalls already in place by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), joining the earlier announcement these lines may contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH) and rendering them unsafe to eat.
Any businesses selling these products in the UK are advised to immediately stop, to undertake product withdrawals and, where there have been retail sales, undertake product recalls.
Brand owner, The Hershey Company, has already taken action to remove these products from the UK market. The FSA said it had also continued to work collaboratively, but despite a proactive action to remove unsafe products from UK markets in 2024, and their subsequent decision not to supply the UK market going forward, other businesses may still continue to import and supply the products to the UK market.
The FSA therefore requested enforcing authorities in the UK to take action to remove products from the market to protect consumers.
Whilst there is no immediate cause for concern for consumers that have eaten the products, MOAH is a known genotoxic carcinogen and may pose a safety risk - particularly if consumed regularly over a sustained period.
The recalled list of products also now spans all Jolly Ranchers hard candy packs, Misfits Gummies, the 2-in-1 packs and its Berry Gummies.
