In a significant move, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has imposed a sales ban on Toxic Waste Slime Licker Sour Rolling Liquid Candy, a popular children’s treat. The decision comes in response to a potential choking hazard associated with the product.
The FSAI’s concern centers around the candy’s 57 ml size and is specifically linked to items bearing the barcode EAN: 898940001016. These candies come with a rolling ball within the packaging that, when eaten, could become detached. The detached rolling ball could pose a severe risk, as it may lead to the candy becoming lodged in the throat, potentially endangering the consumer.
As a result, the FSAI strongly advises consumers against purchasing this product and encourages retailers to remove it from their shelves. This proactive measure underscores the FSAI’s commitment to ensuring the safety of Irish consumers, especially children, in the face of potential hazards. It serves as a reminder of the importance of stringent safety standards in the food industry and the vital role that regulatory agencies play in safeguarding public health.
