The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) reported that a dispensary in Arizona had recalled a batch of THC gummies due to concerns about Salmonella contamination. On August 3, DHS advised purchasers of the Grape Cloud 9 Gummies 100mg (batch number C9G04102023) to dispose of them. After reviewing the product’s testing documentation, the ADHS detected the potential contamination during a routine inspection. The ADHS then reportedly contacted the company that produced the gummies – Nirvana Center, which took “immediate action” to work with all distribution and retail partners to remove any potentially impacted products from store shelves. No illnesses were reported to the ADHS. The Cloud 9 Gummies recall follows another Salmonella-related summons by the ADHS in June. In June, three cannabis concentrate products and one brand of flower were voluntarily recalled due to concerns over Salmonella and Aspergillus contamination. All were produced from cannabis cultivated by the company Cannabist. @ https://www.analyticalcannabis.com/news/arizona-regulators-recall-gummies-due-to-salmonella-risk-314890#:~:text=The%20Cloud%209%20Gummies%20recall,cultivated%20by%20the%20company%20Cannabist.
