Some Jolly Rancher sweets unsafe to eat, FSA says
- On June 12, the UK’s Food Standards Agency warned consumers not to eat certain Jolly Rancher products, as they have been found to contain harmful chemical substances.
- The warning was issued after it was found that the sweets include harmful substances known as MOAH and MOSH, which are banned in UK food products due to their potential health hazards.
- The FSA urged enforcement authorities to contact businesses immediately to withdraw and recall the affected products, while advising consumers to dispose of any purchased items and avoid further consumption.
- The agency indicated that MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen capable of causing DNA damage and elevating cancer risk, particularly with high or long-term exposure, and stressed that any level of exposure carries some risk to health.
- The Hershey Company, which produces Jolly Rancher, stopped supplying the UK market and worked with the FSA to remove unsafe products in 2024, but some importers continued sales, prompting regulatory actions to protect consumers.
