Auckland City Mission, a Charity Organisation has served sweets laced with a lethal dose of methamphetamine in the food packs it distributed to homeless people.
The organization is now making frantic efforts to recall the food packs distributed to more than 400 people. The sweets, which were in solid blocks of methamphetamine, were said to have been dropped by an unknown member of the public.
Three people were treated in hospital after consuming them, New Zealand authorities said, but were later discharged.
The amount of methamphetamine in each candy was up to 300 times the level someone would usually take and could be lethal, according to the New Zealand Drug Foundation — a drug checking and policy organization, which first tested the candies.
