Cannabis Testing Lab in Tyngsborough Suspended over Inaccurate Mold Reporting
- The Cannabis Control Commission suspended Assured Testing Laboratories in Tyngsborough on July 2, 2025, ordering it to cease operations by July 4 due to inaccurate mold reporting.
- The suspension followed an investigation revealing Assured failed to report 544 contaminated yeast and mold samples and reanalyzed 160 after initial failures without notifying the Commission.
- Between April 2024 and April 2025, Assured conducted roughly a quarter of all yeast and mold testing in Massachusetts, reporting a failure rate of only 0.05 percent despite the industry-wide average contamination rate being around 4.5 percent.
- A CCC spokesperson said the suspension shows commitment to safe cannabis and Yasha Kahn of MCR praised the order as moving labs towards sound science and accountability.
- The Commission will continue verifying licensees’ testing practices through a taskforce to ensure product safety while Assured has 21 days to request a hearing or appeal the order.
