US EditionSome Jolly Rancher sweets unsafe to eat, FSA says
- On June 12, the Food Standards Agency alerted the public in the UK to avoid consuming Jolly Rancher products due to identified safety risks.
- The warning was issued after the discovery of harmful mineral oil compounds in the sweets, which renders them illegal under UK regulations and unsafe for consumption.
- Since 2024, The Hershey Company, the maker of Jolly Rancher sweets, has been working with UK authorities to withdraw these items from sale, although some retailers in the UK continue to bring them into the market.
- The FSA highlighted that MOAH is a genotoxic substance capable of causing DNA damage and increasing cancer risk, meaning that any level of exposure could pose a threat to human health. As a result, consumers are advised not to purchase or consume these products and to dispose of any they already have.
- Enforcement authorities have been instructed to ensure immediate withdrawal and recall of affected Jolly Rancher products, while the Hershey Company has ceased supplying the UK market going forward.
