Preliminary test results from an independent laboratory show XPOP Energy Cola Fizz lollipops were not responsible for suspected food poisoning at a Verulam school, Richester Foods said on Wednesday.

Parents alleged that their children had fallen ill after consuming the cola-flavoured energy lollipops at a school market day last week.

An independent laboratory has found that the XPOP Energy lollipops made by Richester Foods were not responsible for the health scare at a Verulam school recently.

A brand of mass-produced lollipops is now under investigation, following a significant poisoning incident at a primary school.

This comes after dozens of pupils in Durban fell ill after consuming the Xpop Cola flavoured lollipops sold at a school market on Friday.

Richester Foods says it is investigating its XPOP Energy Cola Fizz lollipops as the possible cause of an alleged poisoning of a group of Durban schoolchildren.

The company said a sample of the product was sent to an independent laboratory – which has verified the batch free of any contamination that could lead to ill health.
