Maine (WMTW) – A recall of cannabis products sold in Maine is growing.
In early October, the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy announced it was recalling cannabis products that were sold at 14 adult-use retail stores across the state after they failed bacterial, yeast and mold testing.
The pre-ground cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and blunts being recalled are all of the strain “Frosted Cookies” and were produced by Massachusetts-based Nova Farms.
Thursday, the office announced an expanded recall involving additional pre-ground adult-use cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and blunts of the strain “Frosted Cookies” as well as pre-ground flower of the strain “Frozay”.
The products were sold between Aug. 30, 2024, and Oct. 14, 2024
The products affected by the original recall were sold at 14 adult-use cannabis retail stores. Nine additional stores located in Auburn, Bethel, Bridgton, Eliot, Gardiner, Lewiston, Portland, and Waterville sold products affected by the expanded recall.
Here is the list of affected stores:

As part of an ongoing investigation into data irregularities between mandatory test results reported to OCP and subsequent audit testing conducted by the Office, the products are being recalled due to audit testing that identified unsafe levels of Microbials (aerobic bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae) and Yeast and Mold. Anyone who bought these products should return them to the retailer or dispose of them. Anyone who has ingested these products and is experiencing symptoms or adverse reactions should contact their physician immediately.
This expanded recall affects the following products sold in Maine between August 30, 2024, and October 14, 2024:
