COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – The Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR) alongside the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) issued a health and safety advisory due to contaminated retail marijuana flower.
The DOR said the contaminated marijuana was produced and sold by Medpharm Holdings, LLC, d.b.a Bud & Mary’s Cannabis.
The DOR said the advisory included Harvest Batches that were found to have exceeded the acceptable limits for total yeast and mold.
The DOR said Medpharm Holdings, LLC issued a voluntary recall for the affected batches. Those batches were reportedly sold between Feb. 7, 2024, and Dec. 20, 2023.
Bud & Mary’s Group President Lucas Nelson released a statement regarding the recall:
“At Bud & Mary’s, quality and safety are our top priorities. A recent test at the retail level identified microbial contamination in a batch of our flower. Before release, this batch passed all testing requirements using state-approved third-party labs.
On December 27, 2024, more than a month before the advisory went out, we voluntarily contacted all retailers carrying the affected batches, providing guidance on proper destruction in accordance with MED regulations.
We are working closely with the MED to review and strengthen our processes to prevent future issues. This includes auditing our procedures, exploring enhanced testing, and investing in new technologies.
We remain committed to transparency, compliance, and delivering safe, high-quality cannabis to our customers.”
