FDA Warns Companies Selling THC-Laced Copycat Snacks

The FDA and FTC have issued warning letters to companies selling copycat snacks containing delta-8 THC, designed to mimic popular snacks like Cheetos and Chips Ahoy, posing serious health risks, especially to children who might confuse them for regular food. These snacks have led to hospitalizations and even a child's death, with adverse effects including hallucinations and loss of consciousness. The agencies emphasize the dangers of inadequate labeling and the unpredictable effects of these products. Efforts are being made to safeguard consumers from these potentially lethal substances.
