Cannabis gummies that do not meet the legal limit of 10mg of THC per pack are being recalled as their post-consumer effects could be “undesirable” and harmful to health.

“Consumers of these products may inadvertently consume higher than intended amounts of THC, which may result in adverse effects,” the Canadian government said on its website.
These products, which are sold in formats similar to gummies and other confections, were “incorrectly marketed and sold as cannabis extracts,” which can contain up to 1,000 mg of THC per package, the press release said.
The products could thus contain up to 10 mg of THC per unit.
Because these products often have a pleasant taste, smell, and texture, look like ordinary foods, and take time to work their magic, there is an increased risk of accidental or overconsumption by a child.
The federal agency therefore reminds us to always keep products out of the reach of children and to always read and understand labels before consumption.
