The notice said the affected candies are from the brand Haribo and labelled “Tangfastics.”

In an email to CTVNews.ca, the CFIA confirmed Monday that wood pieces were both found in the bags of the candy and partly stuck in the candy. 

The food inspection agency said the gummy candies are 175 grams with a best before date of June 25, 2025.

The Universal Product Code is listed as 0120035930608, the notice said.

The CFIA categorized this recall under “Class 2,” which means that there is a moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life threatening health problems.

The CFIA urged customers not to consume the recalled gummy candies.
