A Hazel Park, Michigan-based cannabis processor has had its license revoked and its owners barred from any future involvement in the state’s cannabis industry. The state Cannabis Regulatory Agency (RCA) last week reached the agreement with Flavor Galaxy, and its owners, following two formal complaints filed last year by the CRA related to untagged products, missing and inaccurate inventory records, misleading labeling, and failures in safety testing and packaging.
Under the consent order, Flavor Galaxy’s license “will not be renewed, reinstated, reissued, or reactivated,” and the company’s owners – Hanna and Jaklin Shina – are prohibited from applying for new licenses, working in the industry, or holding any ownership stake in a licensed cannabis business in Michigan.
The owners are also listed as the sole supplemental applicants for another cannabis business which regulators say they will “administratively close this license before the date it expires” which will prevent the Shinas “from applying for or otherwise seeking renewal, reinstatement, reissuance, or reactivation, limited or otherwise, at any future date of this license.”
To date, Michigan has entered into similar consent orders with six cannabis businesses, and 11 individuals, and one holding company. No entity or company has been involuntarily excluded under state law.
