Attention!
The four of you out there that like and eat black licorice need to WATCH OUT!
Officials are warning people about black licorice candy produced by a California company because it contains high levels of lead.
LEAD.
The product in question is 16-ounce bags of Red Vines Black Licorice Twists with the label “Best Before 020413.”
This a voluntary recall for the tainted batch, and health officials say the licorice was distributed inside and outside of California.
The tests found levels of lead that are more than twice the recommended daily limit for young children, which means that pregnant women and small kids should contact their health care provider if they have recently eaten the licorice.
What a mess!
Good thing black licorice is gross and barely anybody eats it, right??
