Health Canada says Tilray, a Nanaimo supplier, is telling clients to stop using its Sativa House Blend, Hybrid House Blend and Indica House Blend.
The pot was contaminated with enterobacter, which is not associated with an acute health risk, said Joshua Eades, Tilray’s chief science officer.
He said the company doesn’t know where the bacteria originated.
“We are undergoing a top-to-bottom, rigorous review of our sanitation practices and procedures,” he said. “And we’ll be doing a root-cause analysis to understand what caused these results.”
Health Canada and Tilray say there have been no reports of adverse reactions.
The law governing the production of medical marijuana says it must be manufactured to the same standards as any medicine.
This is the third recall...
