Update of June 25, 2024: The FDA CDC, in collaboration with America’s Poison Centers and state and local partners, are investigating a series of illnesses associated with eating Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bars, Cones, and Gummies. FDA has contacted the firm about a possible voluntary recall, but to date, the firm has not initiated the recall. As part of this investigation, the FDA and state partners have collected multiple samples of Diamond Shruumz-brand products for testing and analysis. Additional sample analysis is ongoing, but as of June 25, 2024, test results for two individual chocolate bars collected from a retail store have identified the presence of the following: Diamond Shruumz Dark Chocolate Bar: 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-acetoxy-DMT, also known as O-acetylpsilocin or psilacetin), desmethoxyyangonin, dihydrokavain, and kavain. Diamond Shruumz Birthday Cake Chocolate Bar: 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-acetoxy-DMT, O-acetylpsilocin, or psilacetin). The FDA and CDC medical officers are interpreting these test results to understand the health risks of ingesting these chemical substances and to determine the appropriate next steps. The products caused 39 illnesses, 23 hospitalizations in 19 states (AL, AZ, CA, CO, IN, IA, KY, MD, MN, MO, MT NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN). @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-illnesses-diamond-shruumz-brand-chocolate-bars-cones-gummies-june-2024?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
