Food Safety Alert: Diamond Shruumz products recall due to health risk

Mesa County Public Health has been made aware of a recall involving Diamond Shruumz products, including infused chocolate bars, gummies, and cones. Diamond Shruumz-brand products can be purchased online and in person at retail locations nationwide including smoke/vape shops, and at retailers that sell hemp-derived products such as cannabidiol (CBD) or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC). These products have been distributed in Mesa County. These packaged foods are made with  adaptogens and are used for microdosing.  According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, these products contain Muscimol, a chemical found in certain mushrooms. There appears to be a link between the chemical and reports of illness among people who ate the products. At this time, there have been 39 reports of illness, including cases in Colorado.
