By Marion Nestle August 27 2026 Cannabis edibles: an update of sorts I collect items about cannabis edibles and just realized nothing new has come in for a for a long time.  Not much is happening with these products since President Trump reclassified marijuana as a Class III (less dangerous) drug.  The FDA regulates cannabis edibles but has not said anything new about them for the last two years (since July 2024). On the reclassification DOJ, DEA Reschedule Medical Cannabis Products: The rescheduling follows a 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump, which called on the U.S. Attorney General to “take all necessary steps to complete the rulemaking process related to rescheduling marijuana.” READ MORE International regulation France bans CBD edibles, European agency agrees on ‘reproductive toxicant’ classification: France has banned CBD edibles and convinced the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) that CBD should be treated as a reproductive toxicant, adding pressure on an “already fragile and highly uncertain” market…. Read more New CBD edibles Señorita Debuts 1777 Hemp THC Spirit: With notes of agave, lime and dragon fruit, 1777 comes in a 750 ml bottle and includes 10 mg of hemp-derived THC per 1.5-oz. serving. READ MORE Grön Brings Chocolate Bars to New Jersey: Grön brings to New Jersey a collection of five chocolate bars, each built around a clear, effect-based experience. READ MORE New CBD drinks High Rise Beverage Co. Expands Infusions Lineup: The brand’s Raspberry and Orange THC infusions, available in 750 ml bottles, join the original Citrus flavor. READ MORE Twofold Introduces THC Spirits: Twofold is presented in a 750 ml bottle and designed for structured cocktail use. READ MORE Oops: Psilocin edibles The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) warns consumers not to eat TRE House brand Magic Mushroom gummies, chocolate bars and syrup. These products contain synthetic psychedelic compounds that may cause severe illness, hospitalization or even death. TRE House products were found to contain an analogue of psilocin, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) schedule I drug. All of the products contain 4-Acetoxy-DET (4-Acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine) while most also contain 4-Acetoxy-DMT (4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine). Both are illegal psychedelics. Comment To put it mildly, these products are not tightly regulated.  They may contain more or less of the active ingredient than what is on the label.  Be careful with them.  And keep them away from kids and pets. ____________________ Arriving Sept 8.

By Marion Nestle August 26 2026 The root cause of the massive Cyclospora outbreak: industry consolidation Farm Action has produced a riveting new report: Taylor Farms: How One Company’s Reach Became a National Risk. Many, but by no means all, Cyclospora cases have been traced back to a Taylor farm in Mexico. The CDC’s page on this. The FDA’s page on this. Bill Marler’s count of state case reports: 31,521 From the Farm Action report: What you can do: Buy directly from local farms whenever possible through farmers markets, community-supported agriculture programs, farm stands, and direct online sales. Ask grocery stores, restaurants, schools, and institutions where their produce comes from and encourage them to source from local and regional farms. Advocate for public policies that strengthen competition, transparency, and market access for independent farmers. ____________________ Arriving Sept 8.
