Public Health Madison & Dane County has issued a warning to the community regarding THC contamination in pizzas from Famous Yeti’s Pizza, located at 2300 Highway 51, Stoughton, Wisconsin. The contaminated pizzas were served from Tuesday, October 22 to Thursday, October 24.
Bonnie Armstrong, Director of Environmental Health at Public Health Madison & Dane County, advised the public: “We want to be sure anyone who has this pizza on hand throws it away so they don’t get sick.” She further recommended that individuals experiencing symptoms related to THC contact their healthcare provider or call emergency services if symptoms worsen.
Symptoms associated with THC exposure can include dizziness, increased blood pressure and heart rate, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, impacts on short-term memory, time distortion, and sleepiness. It is important to note that reactions can vary by individual and the concentration of THC may differ between pizza pieces.
The issue came to light when Stoughton EMS reported multiple transports of individuals with similar symptoms after consuming pizza from Famous Yeti’s Pizza. Tests confirmed the presence of THC in the oil used for making the pizzas.
Famous Yeti’s Pizza operates within a shared industrial kitchen where various businesses prepare food and other products. Public Health sanitarians are investigating alongside Stoughton Police and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The owner of Famous Yeti’s Pizza is cooperating with these efforts.
Individuals who have consumed the pizza and experienced illness are encouraged to complete a questionnaire provided by Public Health to aid in their investigation. For further details on THC-related health concerns and poisoning prevention measures, individuals are directed to consult resources available through the CDC.
A previous version of this release incorrectly stated that pizzas were served starting Monday; however, it was clarified that service began on Tuesday.
