Every DCC recall and enforcement action, searchable in one place.

What this looks like in practice

Recalls are the visible artifact of a deeper data-flow problem. Roughly four in ten California cannabis recalls in the last 30 months cite a label or cannabinoid-pipeline failure — the COA test value, the printed label, and the Metrc tag drifting out of agreement across the production chain. The DCC sees the printed label; the licensee whose name is on it owns the recall, regardless of where the substitution happened upstream.

Phenominal Consulting works with California cannabis distributors on the operational gap between the lab, the ERP, the label generator, and the printer. If you operate a Type 11 distribution license and want to understand your exposure before the regulator finds it, we can talk through your specific pipeline. If you're a brand owner wondering whether your distribution partner has a recall history, search this index by license number.

Recalls describe what was pulled from shelves; enforcement describes what DCC did to the licensee — citations, suspensions, revocations, license denials. The table above shows both, side by side, because the same licensees often appear in both. A dedicated enforcement-only view is available for licenses DCC has acted against but never recalled product from.
