What is this? Some jelly sweets from China sold in Germany and the Netherlands may have two problems: an extra thickener called E407 that is not allowed, and pieces that could block a child’s throat.
What's happening? These sweets have been found in shops. They are being taken off shelves because they can be unsafe.
Does this affect me? If you bought jelly sweets from China in Germany or the Netherlands, check the bag for a recall notice.
What should I do? Stop eating them and return the bag to the shop. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
