The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy has issued another health and safety recall for adult-use cannabis and cannabis products produced by Nova Farms.
The original recall, issued on Oct. 11, involved pre-ground adult-use cannabis flower, pre-rolls and blunts of the strain “Frosted Cookies.”
The expanded recall involves additional pre-ground adult-use cannabis flower, pre-rolls and blunts of the strain “Frosted Cookies” as well as the pre-ground flower of the strain “Frozay.”

The products affected by the original recall were sold at 14 adult use cannabis retail stores. Nine additional stores located in Auburn, Bethel, Bridgton, Eliot, Gardiner, Lewiston, Portland, and Waterville sold products affected by the larger recall.
It affects the products sold between Aug.30 and Oct. 14.
The products are being recalled due to audit testing that identified unsafe levels of microbial substances, yeast and mold.
In Maine, all adult-use cannabis products must have a package label that indicates the product’s batch number. The office said consumers should check their pre-ground flower batch number, pre-rolls, or blunts and return them to the retailer or dispose of them.
Inhaling cannabis with such contaminants can lead to sinus problems, allergies, headaches, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, or fatigue, according to the OCP. Any consumer who has ingested these products experiencing symptoms or adverse reactions should seek medical help immediately.
