According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 29th (local time), at least five people received hospital treatment and dozens more were injured after an employee accidentally used hemp oil at a pizza restaurant in Wisconsin , USA, on the 22nd.

According to the US Department of Health, a pizza shop employee at the time was using oil from another company in a shared kitchen with a nearby store when he ran out of the oil he was initially using.

The oil was packaged in a clear plastic bottle and looked like normal cooking oil, but the label said it contained ‘Cannabis Delta-9’. However, it is said that the employee did not confirm this.

The shop owner said the oil used in other stores was ‘food grade hemp’ and was a legal product. He said, “When unexpected symptoms appeared in a customer who ate pizza, we investigated what was happening.”

The US Department of Health said it received dozens of reports from people who felt strange after eating pizza and that five people were hospitalized after being exposed to “foodborne illness.”

Research has shown that this oil contains THC, the main ingredient in marijuana. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), symptoms associated with THC can include dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, seizures panic, paranoia, hallucinations, impaired short-term memory, and drowsiness.

The local media said, “Although marijuana is not legal in Wisconsin, the oil used in pizza comes from hemp, so it does not follow the rules related to marijuana and can be used to make food. “
