GRANT COUNTY, Wash. – The Grant County Health District issued an emergency warning Friday for people to avoid ‘Diamond Shruumz’ chocolate bars, cones and gummies.
According to the health district, the products are implicated in a joint Centers for Disease Control and US Food and Drug Administration investigation:

58 illnesses have been reported from 27 states.50 of the 58 people have reported seeking medical care.30 people have been hospitalized.One potentially associated death is under investigation.”
