At least 2 children are hospitalized after eating THC candy from a food bank in Utah.
Roy City Police"Right now, we do not believe nor do we have any evidence to support that the donation was intentional. We have discussed this issue with our local food bank and it appears to be an accident," police sergeant Matthew Gwynn told NBC News in a statement.
Utah Food Bank president and CEO Ginette Bott apologized"to any families who may have received this product." “We are absolutely horrified that this product went out to any of our partner agencies, and can easily see how volunteers would not have known what to look for,”Bott also said the Utah Food Bank is also"changing our processes involving such donations immediately to avoid this happening again" as demand for food and donations continues to increase due to the coronavirus outbreak.
John Thomas, interim pastor of the Roy Baptist Church, which distributed the food bank donations containing the THC candy, said volunteers were trying a new delivery system in an effort to implement coronavirus-related precautions, KSL reported. Under normal circumstances, people come inside the church and choose what they need, said Thomas. Instead, volunteers were giving families bags of previously packaged food in a drive-thru set up.Nicole Acevedo is a reporter for NBC News Digital.
