A New Zealand charity that works with low-income people says it unknowingly distributed candies containing potentially lethal levels of methamphetamine. The New Zealand Drug Foundation, which tested the candies that were still on the premises, said each one contained about 3g of methamphetamine, up to 300 times the level someone might usually take. The group said people who had started to consume the candies reported a bitter taste and feeling unusual. In the meantime, the NZ Drug Foundation warned consumers to avoid Rinda brand pineapple candies. “We don’t know how widespread these contaminated lollies are,” Helm said, “so we recommend not eating any Rinda brand pineapple lollies if you have them.”

☆ High doses of meth found in candy handed out to over 300 families in New Zealand

A charity working with homeless people in Auckland, New Zealand unknowingly distributed candies filled with potentially lethal doses of methamphetamine in its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public. The City Missioner, Helen Robinson, said eight families, including at least one child, had reported consuming the contaminated candies since Tuesday. Auckland City Mission was alerted Tuesday by a food bank client who reported “funny-tasting” candy. It was not clear how many had been distributed in that time and how many were made of methamphetamine. Some of those who had received the food parcels were clients of the charity’s addiction service and the news that drugs had been distributed had provoked distress.
