Florida issues ‘stop-sale’ order on Diamond-Schruumz products

Diamond-Schruumz has had issues with substances in products going back to February.

Diamond-Schruumz brand products have been ordered not to be sold in Florida. The entire “stop-sale” order was issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and follows a recall issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The unusual regulatory moves come after Dimaond-Schruumz products such as cones, chocolates, and gummies have been found to contain poisonous and harmful substances, including psychotropic components.

“As a state, we have a responsibility to protect our citizens, especially our children, from potentially harmful products and substances, and we are committed to ensuring that all food products sold in Florida meet strict safety standards,” said Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Wilton Simpson. “By issuing this stop-sale order, we are taking swift action to ensure these products do not re-enter the marketplace and to safeguard the well-being of Floridians.”

The initial federal recall started in late June after Prophet Premium Blends Foods in Santa Ana, California, acknowledged the presence of Muscimol in products. That substance has been associated with adverse symptoms, including seizures, agitation, involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, abnormal heart rates, and hypotension. These symptoms were reported in individuals who consumed Diamond-Schruumz products.

Some stop-sale orders in Florida had already been issued as far back as February after inspections at Honest PP&D Inc. in Orlando, which sold the Diamond-Schruumz products. There was an order then for stop sale for about 140,000 packages of Diamond-Schruumz products.

    Good afternoon Sage Patriots & Dook 4 Brains Leftys,
    The above warning is kind of 1/2 @55 in the way it is being reported. A quick read makes one think the ban is on some sort of common food product.
    ITS NOT A COMMON FOOD PRODUCT:
    The gentel readers have no idea the products are Drugs commonly used by Dook 4 Brains Leftys to get high on. Only by clicking on the link at the top of the artical does the gentel reader get a clue it is THC (Weed) ediabls & Psydelic Mushroom products.
    I dont want to harp on that too much because its in our Beloved On-Line Host, Peter’s publication …. so we transition to whats REALLY important.
    TRANSITION:
    Who are the major consumers of Weed and Psydelic Mushroom products?
    BING BING BING Your correct its Dook 4 Brains Leftys by about 94.6784%.
    What this means is that Ron, The Beautiful Casey DeSantis, along with ELVIS care very much about the Health and Wellness of All Floridians ….. even the Dook 4 Brains Leftys.
    IN CLOSING:
    Florida is lucky to have Ron and Casey DeSantis looking out for all Floridian’s Health.
    Thanks Ron & Casey,
    And even though the Dook 4 Brains Leftys wont thank Ron & Casey ELVIS will.
    ELVIS
