The June 27, 2024 recall of Santa Ana, California-based Prophet Premium Blends, LLC Diamond Shruumz-brand infused cones, chocolate bars, and gummies due to toxic levels of muscimol is still ongoing. Muscimol is a chemical found in mushrooms of the genus Amanita.
Background
Based on complaints received in May from consumers who reported being sickened by consumption of certain Diamond Shruumz products, a company investigation showed that the products contained elevated levels of muscimol.
The affected products were distributed to the following states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, PR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY.
The company and FDA are still investigating the cause of the illnesses. In an announcement, the company said that “…Muscimol could be a potential cause of symptoms consistent with those observed in persons who became ill after eating Diamond Shruumz products.”
