Maine Regulators Increase Audits Of Recreational Cannabis After 3rd Recall In 2 Months

This comes after 3 recalls in just 2 months

The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy has released little information about the recalls, including which yeasts and molds were found in samples, contamination levels, and how the products made it onto shelves after passing initial tests.

It took four years for Maine to issue its first recall of contaminated cannabis in the recreational market, but it only took two months for the second and third.

The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy has issued three recalls – and one recall expansion – for products that failed mandatory yeast and mold tests. And more could be coming as the office ramps up audit testing.

The first recall, for flower from Cannabis Cured, was announced Sept. 10. The second recall and subsequent expansion came shortly after, on Oct. 11 and 24, concerning products from Nova Farms. The most recent recall, issued Nov. 7, was for cannabis from Leb City Greeneries. All the recalls were for smokable cannabis ranging from flower and pre-ground flower to pre-rolls and blunts.
