The Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory for consumers not to eat, sell or serve any flavor of Diamond Shruumz-brand mushroom-infused “microdosing” chocolate bars, cones and gummies following multiple illnesses.

The FDA advisory is for Diamond Shruumz Microdosing Chocolate Bars, Infused Cones and Micro Dose and Macro Dose Gummies. The agency said the products are marketed as candy and may appeal to teenagers and children. 

A total of 12 illnesses — including 10 hospitalizations — have been reported in a total of eight states across the U.S., including Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina and Pennsylvania. 

Consumers who have become ill after eating the Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars, cones and gummies have reported a variety of symptoms, including seizures, agitation, abnormal heart rates, nausea and vomiting, among other things, according to the advisory. 

FDA working with CDC, others to investigate illnesses connected to Diamond Shruumz hospitalizations

The FDA said it is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, America’s Poison Centers and state and local partners to investigate the illnesses. Consumers are advised to check their homes for the products and discard them if found. 

Individuals who become ill after consuming the Diamond Shruumz products should contact their healthcare provider or contact the Poison Help Line by phone at 1-800-222-1222.  

The FDA issued another warning earlier this year for consumers not to ingest certain tejocote root-labeled supplements after testing determined the products actually contained toxic yellow oleander, a poisonous plant native to Central America and Mexico.
