State Adds 6,000 Products to 2023 Cannabis Recall Over Illegal THC Oil

14 April 2025

Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation has widened a major marijuana product recall, now covering nearly 68,000 items (list of recalled products), after uncovering additional products tied to unregulated THC oil produced by Delta Extraction. The expansion follows a February ruling by the state’s Administrative Hearing Commission, which required a reexamination of previously cleared items sold under the Midwest Magic brand.

At the center of the issue is THC distillate made from out-of-state, hemp-derived THC-A—used by Delta Extraction in violation of Missouri law. State regulations mandate that all THC in legal cannabis products be sourced from marijuana grown within licensed Missouri facilities and tracked through the Metrc system.

Delta, which has since lost its license, claimed its oil was legal and safe. But regulators determined that the intoxicating potential of THC-A, regardless of origin, demands full oversight.

The expanded recall has rippled across the state's cannabis supply chain. Midwest Magic, whose part-owner was linked to Delta, had earlier managed to remove some products from the recall—but regulators have now flagged thousands more. Some Missouri cannabis dispensaries and manufacturers have been hit hard: with one Kansas City facility reporting nearly 700 ingredients recalled in a single day.

No consumer illnesses have been reported. Still, the Division of Cannabis Regulation says the recall is a precautionary step to protect public health. More than 150,000 products remain in state custody, including 378,000 grams of THC oil, thousands of edibles, vape cartridges, and pre-rolls.

Industry legal experts suggest new challenges to the recall may emerge, as confusion grows over what remains legally sellable. For Missouri’s cannabis sector, the case is a stark reminder of the risks—and consequences—of regulatory missteps.
