Second Colorado marijuana recall in January hits nearly 60 dispensaries

By Thomas Mitchell | Westword

The Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division has issued a health and safety notice over mold and yeast concerns for marijuana grown by Medpharm Holdings, LLC, which does business as cultivator Bud & Mary’s.

The recall, issued January 28, includes nine different harvest batches and impacts 58 dispensaries across Colorado. According to the MED, the flagged product was sold from February 7 through December 20 of last year.

After testing marijuana from Bud & Mary’s, some harvest batches were “found to have exceeded acceptable limits established for total yeast and mold,” the MED notice says. According to Bud & Mary’s, the recalled product passed initial post-harvest testing, but a test at the retail level identified microbial contamination. Bud & Mary’s collaborated with state officials in the recall effort, the MED notes.
