Diamond Shruumz Recall Issued Following FDA Warning on Health Risks

Nearly 40 illnesses have been linked to recalled Shruumz mushroom products, which may cause cause seizures, abnormal heart rates, nausea and vomiting.

Following a warning issued last month by federal health officials about dozens of reports involving severe illnesses linked to Diamond Shruumz, the manufacturer has announced a recall that impacts all flavors of the chocolate bars, cones and gummies, which may contain dangerous amounts of muscimol, a chemical that can cause severe symptoms and injuries.

Diamond Shruumz are a mushroom micro dosing brand, which are marketed as dietary supplement that provides users a “sumptious experience and a more creative state of mind.” However, the products reportedly have no psilocybin in them, meaning the chocolates contain no actual psychedelics or scheduled drugs.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the Diamond Shruumz recall on June 28, after discovering that the products’ Certificates of Analysis (COAs) showed higher than normal amounts of muscimol, a compound found in Amanita mushrooms, which might be responsible for symptoms similar to those experienced by individuals who fell ill after consuming Diamond Shruumz products.

The recall comes after the FDA issued a Diamond Shruumz warning on June 11, following reports of illnesses. Then, on June 18, 2024, the FDA and CDC, along with America’s Poison Centers and state and local partners, announced an investigation into illnesses linked to Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bars, Cones, and Gummies. Samples of these products were collected and analyzed as part of the investigation.

In total, at least 39 consumer illnesses have been linked to the mushroom products in 20 different states, including 23 reports of individuals being hospitalized. These consumers reported experiencing seizures, agitation, involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rates, and hyper/hypotension.

The FDA notice indicates that retailers and wholesalers should stop selling the products, quarantine any inventory immediately, and contact their sales representative to begin the return and refund process. Upon contacting their sales representatives, the manufacturer, Prophet Premium Blends will provide return shipping labels, verify the inventory, and then issue the refund.

The recall includes Diamond Shruumz infused cones, chocolate bars, and gummies. A full list of affected items, their UPC codes, and product images are available in the FDA’s recall notice.

States that have been impacted by this recall include Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee.
