A Wisconsin pizza shop issued a public apology after inadvertently selling pizzas laced with drugs after they got their ingredients wrong.
The incident unfolded when Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton, Wis., mistakenly used contaminated oil from a shared commercial kitchen, leading to the unintentional inclusion of THC in their pizza dough, We Are GreenBay reported.
Several reports of customers experiencing unusual symptoms after eating the pizza led to the discovery of the accident. Officials with Public Health Madison and Dane County reported that between October 22 and October 24, dozens of pizzas were sold with THC-laced dough.
"Public Health Madison & Dane County is urging community members to throw out any pizza they may have from Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton (2300 Highway 51, Stoughton, WI) due to unintentional THC contamination. The contaminated pizza was served on Tuesday (10/22) through Thursday (10/24) of this week," officials stated.
The rest also quickly addressed the issue on social media, advising anyone who purchased pizza during that time to dispose of it and seek medical care if experiencing THC-related symptoms.
"Today it was confirmed that pizza had been sold with dough mistakenly prepared with Delta9 contaminated oil," the pizzeria wrote on Facebook. "The oil accidentally used in the product originated from a shared storage space in the on-site cooperative commercial kitchen. We want to assure you that all affected products have been destroyed."
As a result, the restaurant is working on rebuilding its trust with customers, while health officials continue to monitor the situation.
"Famous Yeti's Pizza operates in a building that also has a shared industrial kitchen where many businesses make food and other products. Public Health sanitarians are currently investigating the space in conjunction with Stoughton Police and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection," officials said.
