Contaminated lollies
A white lolly brought into a drug checking clinic in Auckland was found to contain a potentially lethal amount of methamphetamine.
What you need to know:
- The lolly was in Rinda pineapple wrapping.
- It contained approximately 3g of methamphetamine, which is up to 300 regular doses.
- Consuming this much methamphetamine is extremely dangerous and could result in death.
- Ministry of Health are unsure how widespread these contaminated lollies are, so we recommend not eating them.
- It is understood the lolly was in a sealed package that was donated to the Auckland City Mission and that some lollies may have been distributed to people in food parcels.
- People who have consumed them reported an unpleasant chemical taste.
If you or someone you know has eaten one and feels unwell, call 111 immediately.
Symptoms might include:
• Chest pain
• A racing heart
• Seizures
• Hyperthermia
