Германы хэд хэдэн мужид хүүхдүүдийн цуглуулсан чихэрнээс зүү, хадаас зэрэг аюултай зүйлс илэрсэнтэй холбогдуулан хууль сахиулах байгууллагууд шалгалт явуулж байна.
Германы Тюринг мужийн Винцингерөде, Хербслебен тосгодод хүүхдүүд Хэллоуины баяраар цуглуулсан чихэрнээсээ металл зүү олсон талаар цагдаагийн байгууллагад бүртгэгдсэн байна. Үүнтэй төстэй хэрэг Баден-Вюртемберг, Бавари, Доод Саксон болон Бремен хотуудад гарчээ. Тухайлбал, Баварид шоколад болон чихэрнээс хадаас, эрэг шураг олдсон бол Ганноверт есөн настай охин чихэрнээс оёдлын зүү илрүүлсэн байна.
Райнланд-Пфальц мужийн Аппенхайм хотод есөн настай хүүгийн чихэрнээс хоёр жижиг соронз олдсон ч цагдаа нар үүнийг санаандгүй тохиолдол гэж үзэн, санаатайгаар хор хөнөөл учруулах оролдлого гэх нотлох баримт олоогүй байна. Арваннэгдүгээр сарын 1-ний байдлаар эдгээр тохиолдлуудын улмаас хүүхэд гэмтэж бэртсэн тухай мэдээлэл ирээгүй байна.
Өмнөх жилүүдэд ч Герман улсад ийм төрлийн хэрэг гарч байсан бөгөөд 2025 онд Киль хотод эх хүн хүүхдийнхээ чихэр дундаас хутганы ир олж байжээ. Түүнчлэн АНУ болон Канадад Хэллоуины баярын чихэрнээс зүү, утас, хадаас, эрэг шураг зэрэг металл эд зүйлс илэрсэн тухай мэдээлэл гарч, тус улсуудын эрх бүхий байгууллагууд шалгалт явуулж байна.

Police have launched an investigation into reports of dangerous objects, including metal needles and magnets, found in Halloween candy
Dangerous objects, including metal needles and magnets, have been found in sweets collected by children during Halloween celebrations in several German federal states, according to local police.
The first reports came from Thuringia, where children in the village of Wintzingerode found metal needles in several sweets after doing trick or treat activities. A similar incident was reported in Herbsleben, where a needle was discovered in a chewy candy. Police are investigating which houses the children had visited before finding the contaminated treats.
In Baden-Wuerttemberg, two families in the town of Filderstadt found several needles in milk-and-hazelnut wafer bars. Metal objects were also discovered in sweets in Rielasingen-Worblingen. In Bavaria, parents in Landshut found screws and other sharp metal objects in candies and chocolate bars, while children in Nuremberg discovered needles in chocolate.
Similar reports came from Lower Saxony and Bremen. In Hanover, a nine-year-old girl found sewing needles in three sweets. Another needle was discovered in a chocolate bar in the city of Salzgitter, while a nail was found in candy in Bremen.
A separate incident was reported in the Appenheim municipality, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, where a nine-year-old boy found two tiny magnets, measuring about 2 millimeters in diameter, in a chewy candy. Police later determined that the magnets had entered the sweet accidentally and found no evidence of deliberate tampering.
As of November 1, no injuries to children had been reported.
Similar incidents have been reported in Germany in previous years. In 2025, a mother in Kiel found razor blades among her children’s Halloween treats, while a chocolate bar containing a nail was discovered in Bavaria in 2024.
Reports of suspected Halloween candy tampering have also emerged from North America. In the US, cases were registered in five states, involving needles, metal hairpins, wire, screws, and pins found in children’s treats. In Canada, police received reports from several provinces. In Toronto, a father found sewing needles and pins concealed in five Halloween treats, while authorities in Quebec began investigating two cases involving a needle and a metal pin. In Newfoundland and Labrador, police received three reports of small metal objects found in miniature chocolate bars.
