Los Angeles, California – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall for all Diamond Shruumz-brand products, citing concerns over illnesses allegedly caused by the company’s “microdosing” sweets. Reports of individuals falling ill after consuming these products have prompted the FDA to investigate the potential health risks associated with these treats.
Prophet Premium Blends, the distributor of Diamond Shruumz products, voluntarily recalled the items due to the presence of muscimol, a chemical found in certain mushrooms. The FDA is currently examining the situation to determine the exact cause of the reported illnesses and the safety of these products. Chemical tests revealed the presence of O-acetylpsilocin in two Diamond Shruumz products, indicating potential contamination with a psychoactive substance.
The FDA’s ongoing investigation has uncovered additional concerning compounds in the Diamond Shruumz Dark Chocolate Bar, including desmethoxyyangonin, dihydrokavain, and kavain. The agency, along with CDC medical officers, is assessing the health risks posed by these chemicals and considering appropriate steps to address the issue. So far, 39 illnesses, including 23 hospitalizations, have been linked to these sweets, with symptoms ranging from seizures to nausea.
Despite the company’s claims that their products do not contain psilocybin or other scheduled drugs, the FDA urges consumers to avoid consuming Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars. The company markets its treats as providing a unique and creative experience without the presence of psychedelic substances. However, with the current health concerns surrounding these products, caution is advised.
Diamond Shruumz encourages consumers to explore their chocolates and candies for a “subtle, sumptuous experience and a more creative state of mind.” While the brand promotes its products as offering a unique twist on traditional treats, the FDA’s warning highlights the potential dangers associated with these sweets.
In light of these developments, it is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and informed about the products they consume to protect their health and well-being. As the investigation into the Diamond Shruumz products continues, regulatory authorities are working to ensure the safety of the public and prevent further incidents related to these potentially harmful treats.
