About this report
Quarterly reports synthesize each completed calendar quarter of California cannabis compliance data published by the Department of Cannabis Control — recall notices from recalls.cannabis.ca.gov and enforcement actions from cannabis.ca.gov/cannabis-laws/compliance-action-records. The underlying index is refreshed daily; quarterly reports are generated once each quarter closes.
Recall category labels (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.
Report generated May 19, 2026 · 11:42 AM GMT+0000. Underlying data refreshed daily. Current live tracker: phenominal.io/recalls. Full methodology and citation format on the data page.
If you operate a Type 11 distribution license
A quarter is enough time to fix what produces a recall.
