In a surprising turn of events, Famous Yeti’s Pizza in Stoughton, Wisconsin, found itself at the centre of a peculiar controversy after 60 pizzas were accidentally made with oil contaminated with THC, the psychoactive component found in cannabis. The incident has sparked widespread attention and a flurry of community reactions.

The mishap occurred when oil, intended for another business using food-grade hemp, was mistakenly used in the pizzeria’s kitchen. This oil contained Delta-9 THC, which, while illegal in Wisconsin for production or consumption, is permissible in hemp-derived products containing 0.3% or less. As soon as the error was discovered, Cale Ryan, the owner of Famous Yeti’s Pizza, acted swiftly to address the situation. In a candid statement, he apologised profusely to the community, acknowledging the oversight and detailing the steps taken to rectify the issue.

In response to the incident, the Stoughton Police and Dane County Public Health collaborated with the pizzeria to trace the source of the contamination and ensure public safety. They confirmed their ongoing support as Ryan implemented additional safeguards to prevent any future occurrences.

Ryan’s transparency and accountability have been met with understanding and support from the local community. Many customers took to the restaurant’s Facebook page to express their continued loyalty, praising Ryan for his honesty and the swift measures he took. Even local businesses like El Rio Grande extended their support, emphasising the importance of community solidarity.

Despite the gravity of the mistake, the community’s response has been largely forgiving, with some injecting humour into the situation. Comments on social media included light-hearted jokes about the incident, demonstrating the town’s resilience and spirit.

This episode serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding cannabis-related products and the importance of rigorous checks in commercial kitchens.

This also shows how careful businesses need to be with cannabis-related products, even in places like pizzerias. By responding quickly and being honest, Famous Yeti’s Pizza turned a tricky situation into a way to build trust and support within the community.
