State cannabis regulators warned in a health and safety advisory issued on Monday that a slew of marijuana products sold in Massachusetts in recent months are contaminated or potentially contaminated with high levels of yeast and mold.
The affected products, including marijuana flower and pre-rolls, were sold at more than two dozen retail dispensaries and medical treatment centers between May 31, 2024, and January 23, 2025, according to the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.
“The affected products previously passed required compliance testing between March 2024 and June 2024, however, following additional compliance testing, samples of the affected products were found to have the presence of yeast and mold above the acceptable testing limits established for total yeast and mold,” the CCC said in a statement posted on its website. “The affected products are subject to further investigation by the Commission and may be subject to confirmatory retesting before they can be made available to the public.”
Consumers and patients are urged to check whether any of the affected products are currently in their possession. The CCC urged anyone in possesion of the tainted marijuana to destroy it or return it to the store they bought it at for proper disposal.
Anyone who experiences adverse health effects after consuming the affected products should seek medical attention and alert their marijuana retailer.
The affected products include:
1 g pre-rolls Strane, Carbon Fiber, batch number: M000033926113.5 g Strane, Carbon Fiber, batch number: M000029879501 g pre-rolls Strane, Carbon Fiber, batch number: M0000295671028 g Strane, Carbon Fiber, batch number: M000033401031 g pre-rolls Strane, Frosted Jungle, batch number: M000032646233.5 g Strane, Frosted Jungle, batch number: M000029880503.5 g Garcia hand-picked, Highland OG, batch number: M0000334010528 g Garcia hand-picked, Highland OG, batch number: M000033402107 g Garcia hand-picked, Highland OG, batch number: M000033402161 g pre-rolls Garcia hand-picked, Highland OG, batch number: M00003204633Pre-rolls Strane, Silver Kush, batch number: M000032046335g pre-roll 10 pk Strane, Silver Kush, batch number: M00002592380
