BISMARCK — North Dakota health officials are warning residents about recalled mushroom edibles that may be related to a death in the state. Prophet Premium Blends Diamond Shruumz products were recalled on June 28, according to a release from North Dakota Health and Human Services, which advised residents not to eat, sell or serve the products. The products include chocolate bars, cones, gummies and related products that may still be available online or at retailers that sell hemp-derived and smoking and vaping products, the release said.
