144 retail shops affected after Denver business recalls marijuana due to potentially unsafe mold, yeast levels

Bonsai Cultivation is recalling several products, including flower, shake, trim and pre-rolls, over concerns of potentially elevated mold and yeast levels.

DENVER — A Denver-based marijuana company has voluntarily recalled multiple products widely sold throughout Colorado over concerns of elevated mold and yeast levels detected recently. 

According to a release from the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE), multiple samples of dried marijuana from Bonsai Cultivation, including flower, shake, trim and pre-rolls, were evaluated and contained potentially unsafe levels of yeast/mold. 

Health impacts resulting from inhalation exposure to mold or yeast may exist depending on the specific product, duration, frequency, and level of exposure, DDPHE said.

Bonsai Cultivation released a statement Tuesday that reads:

"The City of Denver recently found unsatisfactory levels of microbials in a random sample of cannabis plant material from Bonsai Cultivation, and so Bonsai Cultivation is now voluntarily recalling some of the plant materials grown in our facility. Because nothing of this sort has ever happened before inside our facility, Bonsai Cultivation is currently investigating the root of this issue - and learning from this experience.

In addition to working closely with the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment, Bonsai Cultivation has also taken immediate action to go beyond current cultivation facility standards and post-processing protocols. Bonsai Cultivation is working with Nordic Analytical Laboratories to test its facility’s strengths and potential weaknesses, updating all SOPs and conducting a top-down facility inspection for quality control purposes.

It’s important to note that this recall does not apply to any cannabis concentrates derived from plant materials grown at Bonsai Cultivation’s facility.

Bonsai Cultivation apologizes to our customers for this momentary lapse in quality control, and we look forward to earning back your trust with the best-in-class product you’ve become accustomed to."

All retail marijuana plant material or retail marijuana products bearing the OPC code 403R-00228 are subject to the recall. Bonsai Cultivation is licensed under the LLC Redwood Investment Partners.

Any consumers who have experienced symptoms of illness after smoking, vaping, or another consumption method of plant material purchased from Bonsai Cultivation are urged to contact DDPHE at phicomments@denvergov.org

"DDPHE is investigating this issue and overseeing the recall process to remove potentially contaminated products from commercial circulation," the release from DDPHE says.

According to DDPHE, 144 retail stores throughout Colorado have carried marijuana products from Bonsai Cultivation prior to Oct. 14. Here's a list of retail locations where plant material has been distributed since April 30:
