The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP) has expanded a recall for certain pre-ground adult use cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and blunts due to bacteria and mold concerns.
The original recall issued on October 11 involved pre-ground adult use cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and blunts of the strain “Frosted Cookies.” The expanded recall involves 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 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.

The OCP says the products are being recalled due to failure of microbials (aerobic bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae) and yeast and mold.
Inhaling cannabis containing unsafe levels of microbials and/or mold can lead to sinus issues, allergies, headaches, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, or fatigue, according to the OCP.
All adult use cannabis is required to have a label affixed to the package that indicates the product’s batch number. Consumers should check the label of their pre-ground flower, pre-rolls, or blunts for the batch numbers listed below under “Product Information.”
This expanded recall affects the following products sold in Maine between August 30, 2024, and October 14, 2024:
