This page reproduces public-records data from the California Department of Cannabis Control's recall portal at recalls.cannabis.ca.gov. Phenominal Consulting maintains an organized index of the portal, refreshed daily. The underlying recall text is reproduced verbatim from the DCC notice. Category labels (contamination, label/data, mixed, other, packaging) are interpretive groupings applied by Phenominal Consulting based on the DCC reason language; they are not DCC's own classification.
