Pizza shop serves THC-laced pie to dozens of sickened customers: health officials

Wisconsin Pizza Parlor Accidentally Serves THC-Laced Pie

A local Wisconsin pizza parlor, Famous Yeti’s Pizza, in Stoughton, unknowingly served THC-laced pizza to customers, resulting in an outbreak of illness and emergency calls to paramedics. The incident occurred when a cook mistakenly used oil infused with Delta-9, a form of THC, to make a batch of dough.

Instead of experiencing the munchies, affected individuals reported symptoms such as dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and nausea. The local health authorities were alerted by Staughton EMS after receiving numerous calls and transporting several people who had consumed the THC-laced pizza.

According to a Facebook post by Yeti’s, the contaminated oil was mistakenly taken from a shared space in their commercial kitchen, resulting in the production of up to 60 pizzas served to customers over three days.

Co-owner Cale Ryan described the effects of the THC-laced pizza on consumers as getting really stoned and intoxicated without realizing it was infused with THC. The restaurant apologized to the community for the mistake and emphasized their commitment to ensuring such incidents do not recur.

Famous Yeti’s has taken steps to clean equipment thoroughly to prevent future contamination and is cooperating with health officials and law enforcement in their investigations. Public Health officials continue to accept reports from individuals who experienced symptoms after consuming the tainted pizza.
