On Oct. 22, a man operating the shop, Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton, Wis., ran out of oil while making pizzas. So he went to an industrial kitchen nearby shared by multiple businesses and took oil that belonged to a different business. Public Health Madison and Dane County said that there was a label on the cap that had manufacturer's information, use by date, and noted it contained Delta-9 cannabis, referring to a scientific term used to describe THC.
The operator did not notice the label on the cap. The oil, which the health department said was a legally purchased product, was being used as food-grade hemp by another business, the owners of Famous Yeti's, Caitlin and Cale Ryan, said in an email.
The oil contained THC, which is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana and has intoxicating effects, meaning it can temporarily alter a person's mood, thoughts, and perceptions, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
In Wisconsin, marijuana is not legal. But the oil that was used in the pizza doesn't face the same laws and regulations as marijuana because it comes from the hemp plant.
