Death Investigation: North Dakota Person Died After Consuming Recalled Microdosing Candies – KVRR Local News

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR/NorthDakotaMonitor) — A person in North Dakota died after consuming recalled microdosing candies.

The death is under investigation by state agencies, the poison control center and FDA.

The FDA published a recall on June 28 of some Prophet Premium Blends Diamond Shruumz products.

They are marketed as containing a proprietary blend of mushrooms.

As of July 1, 48 illnesses, including 27 hospitalizations, have been reported in 24 states.

North Dakota is the only state where a death is being investigated.

North Dakota officials are warning the public because the recalled products could still be available for sale online, in stores that sell hemp-derived products, or in smoke and vape shops, said Michelle Dethloff, director of the infectious diseases and epidemiology unit.

The products are not illegal but they are not licensed or regulated by the state.

State officials would not provide specifics about when or where in North Dakota the death occurred or the person’s age, citing privacy reasons. The person who died is an adult, Dethloff said. The exact cause of death remains under investigation.
