flag Jolly Rancher candies recalled in UK over cancer-linked oil contamination; no safe exposure level.

flag A range of Jolly Rancher candies, including hard candies, gummies, and pops, have been recalled in the UK after tests found contamination with Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH), a petroleum-derived substance classified as a genotoxic carcinogen linked to potential long-term cancer risk. flag The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an urgent "do not eat" warning, advising consumers to dispose of affected products regardless of flavor, pack size, batch code, or best-before date. flag Although the immediate health risk is low, the FSA stressed that no level of MOAH exposure is considered safe, particularly for children. flag The Hershey Company has removed the products from the UK market, but the FSA reported ongoing imports by other businesses, prompting enforcement actions. flag Consumers are urged to check packaging and report concerns to local authorities.
