One of America's favorite candies has been shunned by authorities in the United Kingdom, who claim it is "unsafe to eat."
The U.K.'s Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced a stern advisory against Jolly Rancher candies on June 11.
The alert applies to all Jolly Rancher hard candies, as well as Jolly Rancher Misfits, Jolly Rancher Fruity 2 in 1s and Jolly Rancher Berry Gummies.
The reason, the FSA claims, is that the candies contain "Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH) and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons (MOSH)."
The agency said the hydrocarbons make the candies "unsafe to eat and not compliant with U.K. laws."
