(DailyEmailNews.com) – In a staggering case of violating food safety and jeopardizing people’s health, the famous Yeti’s Pizza in Stoughton, Wisconsin stirred controversy following an unexpected mistake.
Sixty unsuspecting patrons received THC-laced pizzas, a far cry from the expected cheesy delight.
The unraveling of how this happened paints a concerning picture of procedural failings threatening consumer trust.
Famous Yeti’s Pizza mistakenly distributed THC-contaminated pizzas between October 22 and October 24, 2024.
The pizzeria sourced the unintended active ingredient, Delta-9 THC oil, from a shared storage space within a cooperative kitchen.
This accidental swap has left much to be discussed about kitchen safety and shared facilities.
Public unease and unexplained symptoms from patrons led to an investigation.
Stoughton Police and local health officials confirmed the contamination after multiple reports arrived from customers and staff.
Unfortunately, several individuals were hospitalized with THC-related symptoms like dizziness and anxiety.
In response, Public Health Madison & Dane County issued warnings urging consumers to dispose of any leftover pizzas from that timeframe.
Famous Yeti’s emphasized their apology through a Facebook post, ensuring that all contaminated products were promptly destroyed.
They assured customers that moving forward, no Delta-9 or related substances would be stored on-site.
“After receiving reports from staff, Yeti’s owner and employees of unexplained physical reactions, we underwent an investigation with the Stoughton Police and the local health officials,” the pizzeria said in a Facebook post, cited by KTVQ.
The proactive measures taken by Famous Yeti’s Pizza to restore trust imply a strong community bond, with many locals expressing willingness to support them.
However, some internet Critics humorously threw around ideas of keeping the THC pizzas a permanent item.
The owner, Cale Ryan, assured that such an incident would not reoccur.
Despite the humor, Delta-9 THC remains illegal in Wisconsin except in minimal amounts from hemp, marking a significant illegal mishap.
“At Famous Yeti’s Pizza, we are committed to the safety and trust of our community, and we want to provide a transparent update on the recent incident involving contaminated pizza,” the pizzeria vowed, cited by Fox.
