What is this? Some sweets from the United States have a colour called titanium dioxide (E 171) that is not allowed in Europe. The labels on the boxes may also be wrong.
What's happening? These sweets were sold in several European countries. They should not have been sold because the colour is not approved here.
Does this affect me? If you bought these sweets in Germany, Belgium, Cyprus, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, or Switzerland, check your sweets.
What should I do? Do not eat them. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
