Missouri marijuana regulators have issued a recall for a Sinse Cultivation Cherokee product after state testing found that it failed screening for Aspergillus, a common mold that can pose health risks in higher amounts or for people with weakened immune systems.
The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation announced the recall today in partnership with Sinse Cultivation Cherokee, LLC. The recall applies to Sinse – Prepackaged Flower – 14g – Permanent Marker, product number M00001463153, with source tag 1A40C0300000A29000061341.
Regulators said no adverse reactions have been reported to the division at this time.
The recalled product was tested under Missouri’s routine sampling initiative, which launched in July 2025 to help ensure product safety, label accuracy and compliance with state testing standards. According to regulators, the product did not pass testing for Aspergillus.
Aspergillus is a mold that can be tolerated in small amounts by healthy individuals, but it may cause health issues in higher amounts or in people who are immunocompromised.
Patients and consumers who purchased the recalled marijuana product are being told to stop using it. Regulators said unused products should be discarded or returned to the dispensary where they were purchased. Returned products will not count toward a patient’s purchase limit.
Anyone who believes they may be experiencing an adverse reaction is urged to seek immediate medical attention and report the reaction to state regulators.
Missouri voters approved marijuana legalization in November 2022, with the state launching adult-use sales in February 2023. Adults 21 and older may possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana, while registered patients may purchase and possess higher amounts under the state’s medical marijuana program. Missouri taxes adult-use marijuana sales at 6%, in addition to any applicable local marijuana taxes.
