About this report
This report is generated on the 1st of each month from data Phenominal Consulting maintains from two California Department of Cannabis Control public sources: recalls.cannabis.ca.gov (recall notices) and cannabis.ca.gov/cannabis-laws/compliance-action-records (enforcement actions — citations, suspensions, revocations, license denials). Every record on this report is sourced verbatim from a DCC public notice. The DCC portals are the authoritative source; if you find a discrepancy, the portal is correct — please let us know.
Category labels on recalls (contamination, label/data, mixed, other, packaging) are interpretive groupings applied by Phenominal Consulting based on the verbatim DCC reason language on each notice. They are not DCC's own classification. Enforcement action types (Citation and Fine, Suspension, Revocation, Annual License Denial) are DCC's own labels.
Counts reflect each separately-published record on the DCC portals. DCC publishes one recall row per recalled SKU; a single enforcement event that pulls multiple SKUs publishes as multiple rows. Enforcement actions are counted once per published action.
