Famous Yeti's Pizza, via www.famousyetispizza.com

STOUGHTON, Wis. - State health officials are encouraging community members to throw away any pizza made by a Wisconsin-based pizza company.

Public Health Madison & Dane County said Stoughton-based Famous Yeti's Pizza had an unintentional THC contamination. The contaminated pizza was served from Monday, Oct. 21 through Thursday, Oct. 24.

Famous Yeti’s Pizza addressed the situation online.

"After receiving reports from staff, Yeti’s owner and employees of unexplained physical reactions, we underwent an investigation with the Stoughton Police and the local health officials. Today it was confirmed that pizza had been sold with dough mistakenly prepared with oil contaminated with Delta9. The oil accidentally used in the product originated from a shared storage space in the on-site cooperative commercial kitchen.

We want to assure you that all affected products have been destroyed. Famous Yeti’s is working closely with local authorities to improve our storage and security protocols to prevent this from happening again and to guarantee the safety of our customers.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or harm caused."

Health officials said THC-related symptoms include dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, anxiety and more.

If you ate the pizza and got sick, Public Health urges you to complete their questionnaire to help with their investigation.

As my new regular pizza place I hope such a violation does not occur again but I understand how it can happen and I don't want anyone punished or anything and maybe rewarded for being so open about it and if it happened again thats cool. No ones perfect.

Yeah maybe some heads up next time it accidentally happens, sounds like a good pie

Im so worried about it happening again for everyone else that I would like them to send me any suspect pies in order to protect other people because im so selfish, er um, I mean selfless.
