Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) is urging community members to throw out any pizza they may have from Famous Yeti’s Pizza in Stoughton, 2300 Highway 51, due to unintentional THC contamination. The contaminated pizza was served on Monday, Oct. 21–Thursday, Oct. 24 of this week.
Possible THC-related symptoms include dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, short term memory impacts, time distortion, and sleepiness. Individual reactions may differ, and the concentration of THC in the pizza can vary by piece.
PHMDC was alerted to the contamination through Stoughton EMS Thursday afternoon. The organization reported it had transported multiple people with similar symptoms who all reported eating at Famous Yeti’s Pizza. The oil in a container used to make the pizza tested positive for THC.
Famous Yeti’s Pizza operates in a building that also has a shared industrial kitchen where many businesses make food and other products. PHMDC sanitarians are currently investigating the space in conjunction with Stoughton Police and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The owner of Famous Yeti’s Pizza is cooperating with the investigation.
Those who have eaten the pizza and experienced symptoms are encouraged to complete PHMDC’s questionnaire to help with their investigation. For more information on THC and poisoning, visit the CDC.
