From the archived source record
FDA has determined that your Slushers Delta-8 Candy, Chuckles Peach Rings Delta-8 Candy, Rainbow Ropes Delta-8 Candy, Doweedos Delta-8 Edible Chips, Rainbow Rings Delta-8, Chocolate Balls Delta-8 Cereal, Cookie Cat Crunch Delta-8 Cereal, Frutti Rocks Delta-8 Cereal, and Berry Boss Delta 8 Cereal products are adulterated under section 402(a)(2)(C)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(2)(C)(i), because they bear or contain an unsafe food additive. It is a prohibited act to introduce adulterated food into interstate commerce under section 301(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a). This letter is to inform you that your firm markets Delta-8 THC-containing products that may pose a serious health risk to consumers. FDA is particularly concerned that your products are in forms (candy, chips, and cereals) that are appealing to children, that mimic well-known snack food brands by using similar brand names, logos, or pictures on packaging, and that consumers may confuse with traditional foods. Therefore, with these products there is a risk of unintended consumption of the Delta-8 THC ingredient by consumers. In June 2022, FDA warned consumers about the accidental ingestion by children of food products containing THC. 1 From January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2023, FDA received over 300 adverse event reports describing children and adults who consumed Delta-8 THC products. Nearly half of the reports involved hospitalization or emergency department visits, and approximately two-thirds described adverse events after ingestion of Delta-8 THC-containing food products such as candy or brownies. Adulterated Human Foods According to your product labeling, your Slushers Delta-8 Candy, Chuckles Peach Rings Delta-8 Candy, Rainbow Ropes Delta-8 Candy, Doweedos Delta-8 Edible Chips, Rainbow Rings Delta-8 Cereal, Chocolate Balls Delta-8 Cereal, Cookie Cat Crunch Delta-8 Cereal, Frutti Rocks Delta-8 Cereal, and Berry Boss Delta-8 Cereal products are foods to which Delta-8 THC has been added.
