PHMDC launched an investigation and contacted the restaurant's owner, who immediately agreed to close as the inspection commenced. The owner also informed the health department that the restaurant's building had a shared industrial kitchen where other vendors prepared food and products.

One of those businesses included a state-licensed vendor who prepares edibles containing THC derived from hemp — specifically delta-9 THC, which is the most abundant form of THC found in cannabis plants. Among the THC products was a cooking oil infused with the psychoactive ingredient.

It turned out that, on Oct. 22, the restaurant had run out of cooking oil and used oil from the shared kitchen in the building to prepare dough.

"The owner initially thought the oil was plain canola oil but later realized it might have been infused with THC," the report said. "Oil from a large, labeled storage container in the same area where the owner found the oil he used, tested positive for THC."

Ultimately, it was determined that the restaurant's customers were unintentionally exposed to THC, and no criminal charges were pursued, the report added. The restaurant reopened on Oct. 26 after being cleaned and sanitized, per Wisconsin Food Code.
