Sweet or acid in danger? Found needle in Halloween sweetness!

A shocking incident shook the Halloween celebrations in Kirchseeon, Ebersberg district when a four-year-old boy discovered a candy with a metal needle. The child's mother found the needle when sharing a chocolate bar that the boy had collected as part of the popular custom "Trick or Treat". This incident is in the context of a tradition that has its origin in medieval Europe, as a person from house to house to offer food to pray for the dead or sing songs, which is known as "souling". Over time, this custom developed into today's practice to demand sweets to avoid "pranks", a wording that has become popular in the United States since the 1920s.

After the needle was discovered, the mother informed the police, who initially determined because of attempted dangerous bodily harm. However, the police found that the packaging and the glaze of the riegel were undamaged. This fact indicates that the needle was not inserted into the candy from the outside. A production error was excluded in consultation with the manufacturer. The incident was spread by a messenger system before the authorities were switched on.

Security and precautionary measures

The police have currently found no evidence of further prepared sweets in the region and explained that there was no danger to the general public at this point. Nevertheless, the officials advised the parents to carefully check their children's sweets. Whether it is an isolated incident or whether someone in the region may try to fuel fear is the subject of ongoing investigations.

The public prosecutor's office currently not commented on possible allegations of the pretense of a crime, which contributes to uncertainty. The incident has unsettled many parents who rely on the Halloween Night that the sweets that their children collect are safe. In view of the tradition of the cancellation of candy, which is an integral part of Halloween today, it remains to be seen how the Situation is developing.
