Hi all -
I’m trying to understand how concerned I should be about a situation I ran into. I bought a 500mg high end full spectrum cart in my state from an extremely well regarded brand and from a well known “top 10” dispensary. In context, all “cannaisseur” stuff. All natural, organic Ethanol, nothing added, you know the drill. This particular brand/cart even got awards in my state. With the cart, you get the general breakdown so far as terps and THC (92.5%), etc. but when I got home, I googled around and was able to locate the full lab report.
Everything was above board - no pesticides, heavy metals, etc. but under mycotoxins, Aflatoxins was listed as 6ppb and subsequently passed because it’s under the FDA safe threshold of 20ppb.
Aflatoxins are the most dangerous mutagenic spore you can think of, leading to liver cancer, etc.
That said, should I be worried about finding “any” Aflatoxins in the first place, and refusing to use this cart, or is that overly neurotic?
I’m not a repeat customer of this particular dispensary and I don’t know if they would even entertain taking back a cart that has been certified safe anyway.
Am I worried about nothing?
Thanks -
