This recall is a result of routine compliance checks that allowed the Office to identify the audit testing irregularity and begin its investigation, including taking and testing samples from affected batches. The information contained in the State’s cannabis inventory tracking system allowed OCP to put an administrative hold on items throughout its investigation and ensure potentially contaminated cannabis was identified, isolated, and removed from store shelves. OCP’s investigation into the cause and scope of this contamination is ongoing.
