Products made by an Irish manufacturing coffee brand, which was infused with cannabidiol (CBD) have been recalled, after the business was forced to close by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, back on November 11th 2021.
The closure order was issued to Mr Minhang Wu, Karma Food & Beverage Ltd, 10-12 Mill Street, Balbriggan, Co. Dublin.
