CannTrust Holdings Inc CTST said Monday that it was informed by the regulatory body for cannabis in Ontario some of its products are not up to par.
What Happened
The Ontario Cannabis Store is the government-run crown corporation that oversees wholesale distribution of cannabis products to licensed retailers in the province.
The regulatory body determined that some of its products are "non-conforming" under the terms of the company's master cannabis supply agreement.
The OCS returned these products to CannTrust.
The OCS' decision is independent of Health Canada's recent determination that some of CannTrust's products were produced in unlicensed facilities. To date, Health Canada has not ordered a recall for any of its products, CannTrust said.
