An unusual incident has been reported in New Zealand.
Three people were hospitalised with drug poisoning after eating the candy.
The incident was reported by national radio RNZ .
According to the publication, about 400 people received candies with dangerous contents. And three people have already been hospitalized with poisoning from prohibited substances.
It turns out that the treats sent out by the charity contained a large dose of amphetamine, which could be fatal for many people.
It is noted that law enforcement agencies have launched an operation to seize dangerous sweets throughout the city.
At the same time, the manufacturer of pineapple lollipops with dangerous contents, Rinda Food, made an official statement that it is not involved in the use of prohibited substances in its products.
It is noted that the candies could have ended up in the charity by mistake, since this method is used in cross-border smuggling. The cost of one lollipop is estimated at $608.
