The state Office of Cannabis Policy has issued its second-ever recall of recreational cannabis and is urging people to throw away or return tainted products that were sold at 14 shops in the last month.
The recall affects pre-ground flower, pre-rolls and blunts produced by Nova Farms with a strain called “Frosted Cookies.” Nova Farms is a Massachusetts-based company that has dispensaries in Maine and New Jersey.
The products failed the state’s mandatory microbial, yeast and mold tests and the situation is being investigated by the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy, according to a Friday afternoon news release. The agency said it puts products on hold throughout its investigation to “ensure potentially contaminated cannabis was identified, isolated and removed from store shelves.”
The recall of the “Frosted Cookies” strain includes 1.5-gram and 3-gram single pre-rolls as well as 1-gram blunts packaged in fours, sold between Sept. 28 and Oct. 6. It also applies to 1/8-ounce, 1/2-ounce and 1-ounce pre-ground flower; 0.5-gram, 1-gram, 1.5-gram, and 3-gram single pre-rolls; 0.5-gram pre-rolls sold in five-packs; 0.5-gram pre-rolls sold in 56-packs; 1-gram single blunts and 0.5-gram blunts sold in 4-packs sold between Sept. 17 and Oct. 8.
Inhaling cannabis with unsafe mold, yeast or bacteria levels can cause sinus issues, allergies, headaches, flu-like symptoms and dizziness, according to the office.
