The government has advised Hong Kong shops to remove Haribo gummy products from their shelves, after traces of cannabis were found in the firm's cola-flavoured gummies in the Netherlands.

Dutch authorities had earlier told the public that consuming the brand's Happy Cola F!ZZ may lead to symptoms such as dizziness.

The Centre for Food Safety said on Sunday that though it has not received any such reports, the authorities will inspect these products.

"For prudence sake, the trade [is] advised to [take] off shelf all the products...of the relevant brand temporarily," it wrote.
