For our family, this would cause crazy disappointment because my kids don't like chocolate. Fruit-flavored candies are their go-to. But right now, putting your hand into a bag of your favorite fruit-flavored candy gummies could get you much more than you paid for. It could get you a piece of metal.

Reason for May 2022 FDA candy recall

According to a press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), three brands of gummies are being recalled,

...due to the potential presence of a very thin metal strand embedded in the gummies or loose in the bag.

This recall affects the entire county.
