Marijuana Products Sold In MA Potentially Contaminated

MASSACHUSETTS – The Cannabis Control Commission (Commission) issued a news release alerting consumers that marijuana products from two separate licensees may be potentially contaminated.

Yeast, mold and coliform bacteria were detected on marijuana products and failed compliance testing, but were sold by retailers and medical marijuana treatment centers between May 31, 2024 and Jan. 23.

In a separate instance, another batch of products subjected to additional compliance testing was found to be contaminated with yeast and mold. The products were sold by retailers between Sept. 18 2024 and Jan. 30.

No illnesses have been reported to the Commission, and full lists of products and locations where potentially contaminated products were sold can be found here and here.

“Consumers and patients that possess any of the affected products may destroy them or return them to the store or treatment center where they were purchased for disposal,” the release from the Commission read.
