When I was a kid it was razorblades. Every year, the rumor was that someone was putting razorblades in apples. The reality -- there were no reports to the police of anyone ever finding a razorblade in a Halloween treat. Not a single report.
Today, it's fentanyl. Why should anything take this rumor more seriously than the old razorblade rumor of my youth? In my opinion, you should not. I would bet money this is total bullshit.
It was probably the late 70s, but the town I grew up in had a breathless scare about razor blades in small candies at an event in the only shopping plaza in town. This is despite the fact there wasn't any such event, there would have been no way for kids to get to said plaza without their parents, and the candies reported to be contaminated were much smaller than anything reported to be in them. This didn't stop the local rag and all the parents from hysterically repeating the story despite none of them knowing anyone that actually had such a candy.
No one is giving away drugs. Man Remember LSD in candy? I never got one damnit!
I know. The new stuff could kill me in an instant, but nooooooooooooo do you think I actually get any? All I get is this shit candy stuff.
