Canada’s federal regulator has issued a recall for a batch of recreational
cannabis sold in British Columbia, citing microbial contamination discovered by
random government testing.

The recalled marijuana was grown by Alberta producer Sirona Pharma, also known
as Acreage Pharms.

The recall stems from Health Canada’s random cannabis testing program, launched
in 2023 to analyze products bought from licensed stores.

The recalled lot includes 1,200 28-gram packages of “Purple Gelato Punch” sold
under the “Full Sesh” brand and packaged in September 2023.

Health Canada’s testing “determined that the affected product does not meet
certain microbial contaminant limits for yeast, mold and bacteria” set out in
government regulations, according to the agency’s recall notice.

The regulator did not specify the microbial contaminant in question but advised
consumers to “immediately stop using this product.”

Health Canada said there have been no reports of adverse reactions to the
recalled marijuana.

Recalls for contaminated cannabis are relatively uncommon in Canada, with most
involving mislabeled marijuana products.

Health Canada has issued four cannabis recalls to date this year, including
another Sirota Pharma product recalled in March for a labeling issue.

In February, Health Canada recalled two lots of cannabis-infused Turkish delight
produced by WellCann, warning that the product could contain mold.
