Sweets imported from the US containing illegal ingredients have been seized from shops across the country.
Mountain Dew drinks, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish and Lemon Heads are advertised on TikTok and Instagram and are popular stocking fillers.
But they contain carcinogenic and genotoxic ingredients that have been banned by the UK government.
Manufacturers said they were not involved with the sale of their products in this country.
In Staffordshire, trading standards officers seized £8,000 of illegal sweets from 22 shops.
