A California company has recalled its mushroom-infused chocolates and sweets containing a chemical not approved for food by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"At Prophet Premium Blends, we prioritize the health and safety of our consumers above all else," the Santa Ana-based company wrote in a statement on its website. "Recently, we have been made aware of reported incidents involving our product, Diamond Shruumz.
ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton explained that the chemical, derived from some mushrooms, "can be incredibly toxic" at certain doses. Prophet Premium Blends added on its website that "retailers and wholesalers should discontinue use, stop distribution, quarantine the product immediately and contact their sales representative to initiate the return and refund."
Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota all reported one illness each. Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Ohio each reported two illnesses apiece.
