Summary
Delta Munchies LLC, a Los Angeles online seller, was among six companies that received joint warning letters from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in July 2023. According to the FDA letter dated June 29, 2023, the agencies reviewed the company's website and found it taking orders for gummies and sour belts represented as containing delta-8 THC, with package strengths the letter lists as high as 3,000 mg. The FDA said delta-8 THC is an unsafe additive in conventional food, which made the candies adulterated, and it raised concern that packaging resembling well-known snack brands could lead children to eat them by mistake. The FTC portion of the letter said this kind of marketing may be an unfair or deceptive practice under Section 5 of the FTC Act. The company was asked to respond within 15 working days. In July 2024, the FDA said all six companies warned in 2023 no longer had such products in stock.
