US (CO): Safety concerns for cannabis sold at several Colorado stores

The Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR), in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), is issuing a Health and Safety Advisory due to the identification of potentially unsafe levels of Total Yeast and Mold and Aspergillus on Regulated Marijuana flower (bud/shake/trim) produced by Green Street LLC (dba The Chronic Boutique). The CDPHE and DOR deem it a threat to public health and safety when cannabis is found to have Total Yeast and Mold and Aspergillus levels above acceptable limits established in Colorado Marijuana Rule 4-115.

Through an investigation, DOR has identified Harvest Batches produced by Green Street, LLC, that initially passed contaminant testing but subsequently failed to retest. The contaminated Harvest Batches listed below were sold to patients or consumers between November 18, 2022, and February 21, 2023. Please see page two of this HSA for locations where the affected product was sold.

Consumers who have this affected cannabis in their possession should destroy it or return it to the Regulated Marijuana Store from which it was purchased for proper disposal. If consumers experience adverse health effects from consuming the cannabis flower, they should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the Marijuana Enforcement Division by submitting a MED Reporting Form.

All affected cannabis has a label affixed to its container that, at a minimum, indicates the license number of the Regulated Marijuana Business that cultivated the cannabis as well as the Harvest Batch number assigned to the cannabis. Consumers should check the label of their container of Regulated Marijuana flower (bud/shake/trim) for the following license numbers and Harvest Batch numbers.
