Palm Beach Currumbin high school students rushed to hospital after eating banned Uncle Frogs mushroom gummies

Health authorities are reporting that two high school students have been rushed to a hospital on the Gold Coast after eating a product that was urgently recalled in June.

Ambulance services responded to calls that the students at Palm Beach Currumbin State High School had succumbed after the mushroom gummies and had fallen ill.

The two male students were taken to Gold Coast University Hospital and Gold Coast Robina Hospital in stable condition.

The Courier Mail is reporting that the product ingested was Uncle Frog’s Mushroom Gummies which were recalled by Australia’s food safety watchdog.

A public health alert has been in place since June from the NSW Chief Health Officer after five people were hospitalised after ingesting the “cordyceps” and “lion’s mane” varieties of the lollies.

The gummies’ packaging claims the product is “infused with Earth’s finest hemp”.

It claims the cordyceps variety will boost “natural energy and power” while the lion’s mane lollies “supports memory and focus”.

In June a South Australian teen was found unresponsive after eating several of the gummies.

“Investigations are ongoing as to what these products contain. We are strongly recommending that people do not consume these products,” said Medical Director of the NSW Poisons Information Centre, Dr Darren Roberts

The gummies were being sold online but the website has since been taken down.

Support services have been arranged for the students at Palm Beach Currumbin State High School, the Queensland Department of Education said.

“There is no higher priority for the Department of Education than the safety and wellbeing of students and staff,” a spokesperson told 7NEWS.com.au.

“As soon as the school became aware of the incident, emergency services were immediately contacted to attend the school and assess the students.

“No further details can be provided for reasons of student privacy.”
