2024 Outbreak of THC Intoxication Associated with Famous Yeti's Pizza, Wisconsin
During October 22–24, 2024, at least 85 persons, ranging from age 1–91 years, ate food from Famous Yeti's Pizza located in Stoughton, Wisconsin, and experienced symptoms consistent with THC intoxication. The restaurant was in a building with a cooperative (i.e., shared) kitchen used by a state-licensed vendor who produced edible THC products. The restaurant mistakenly used THC-infused oil from the cooperative kitchen to prepare dough.
Three people were hospitalized for at least one night. No one died.
A police investigation concluded that the provision of THC-contaminated food to customers was unintentional, and no criminal charges were pursued.
