Update on the investigation of Illnesses due to Diamond Shruumz Chocolate Bars, Cones, & Gummies (June 2024)

As part of their recall announcement, Prophet Premium Blends, LLC indicated that Diamond Shruumz-brand products contain muscimol. The FDA has tested 19 samples of Chocolate Bars and one raw ingredient that was reportedly used to manufacture some Diamond Shruumz-brand products. Six of the 19 Chocolate Bars and the raw ingredients contained muscimol. Muscimol does not appear in all products and cannot explain all the symptoms reported by ill patients who consumed the Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bars. In addition to muscimol, FDA analyses of Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bar samples identified the presence of the (i)Acetylpsilocin (also known as 4-acetoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine, 4-acetoxy-DMT, O-acetylpsilocin or psilacetin) was found in nine (9) Chocolate Bar samples; (ii) Psilocin, a Schedule I-controlled substance, was found in four (4) Chocolate Bar samples; (iii) Pregabalin, a prescription drug, was found in three (3) Chocolate Bar samples; and (iv) Desmethoxyyangonin, dihydrokavain, and kavain (kavalactones found in the kava plant), were all present together in 15 Chocolate Bar samples. Although these compounds individually have known effects when ingested, there is less research on the interactions between these compounds when ingested together. FDA and CDC medical officers interpret these test results to understand the health risks of ingesting these chemical substances and determine the appropriate next steps. Currently, there are a total illnesses 113, 42 hospitalizations ans 2 deaths. @ 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
