Health officials were tipped off after EMS transported five customers to the hospital.
Dozens of people in Wisconsin have been sickened and at least five needed emergency medical services after inadvertently eating pizza tainted with Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive compound in cannabis, officials of Public Health Madison & Dane County reported late Friday.
The contamination, which health officials called "unintentional," occurred at Famous Yeti’s Pizza in Stoughton between October 22 and October 24. In a news release, the local health department advised customers to throw away any pizza they had from the restaurant during that time period.
"We want to be sure anyone who has this pizza on hand throws it away so they don't get sick," Bonnie Armstrong, director of Environmental Health at Public Health Madison & Dane County, said in the release. "If you ate the pizza and are experiencing THC-related symptoms, please contact your health care provider or call 911 if your symptoms worsen."

How did it get in the pizza? It would have to be a lot to make people that sick. Grabbing the wrong oil? Wow....amateur move. Did they say who was the neighbor they borrowed the oil from?

No. But google street view should get you there :)
Why was THC present in the shared industrial kitchen? There is no regulation requirements for products derived from the hemp plant. This is a legally purchased product and the vendor whose oil was on the shelf is licensed through the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. This product doesn't face the same laws and regulations as marijuana because it comes from the hemp plant. The oil can be used to make everything from cookies to condiments.
Do operators who use a shared industrial kitchen share products and utensils? They are not supposed to. Each business must hold its own license at the shared kitchen. Individual operators use their own supplies but may rent shelving or cabinet space to store their products. Our inspectors have a conversation with operators during inspections about making sure to secure their products in such a way that they’d know if their utensils or products were used by anyone else. Any ingredient can be toxic at certain levels, and all products should be clearly labeled.
