Those products were produced by NorCO Outdoor Cannabis, which also produced cannabis vape cartridges that were the subject of a recall in October. That recall was later expanded to more products and stores in November, and ultimately included four strains sold across 26 adult-use retailers.
Wednesday’s recall was the result of further testing “as part of an ongoing investigation pursuant to the last NorCO product recall,” the Office of Cannabis Policy said in a press release.
The products in Wednesday’s recall tested for unsafe levels of yeast, mold, microbials and arsenic, the agency said. They were sold at dispensaries in 17 communities, including multiple locations in Auburn, Bangor, Lewiston and Portland.
