Moldy Marijuana Recalled In Denver And Pueblo

High concentrations of mold and yeast were found in pot from a single cultivation center by Denver health inspectors.

DENVER, CO — Marijuana sold in Denver and Pueblo has been recalled due to high "yeast and mold counts."

A Denver-based marijuana business, Doctor’s Orders LLC, doing business as "Doctor’s Orders," voluntarily recalled all retail marijuana plant material being sold after an inspection from the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment showed "potentially unsafe levels of yeast/mold," the Denver health department said in a statement.

Affected plant material comes from a single cultivation facility and has a label with the OPC code 403R-00045, the health department said. The health department said 10 retail stores carried the product.
