Zenabis revealed through its Q2 financials that it had returned 554 kilos of cannabis it acquired from Sundial because the product contained mould, pieces of rubber gloves, and foreign bodies. Sundial went public on Nasdaq on August 1 with a USD$1B valuation, and did not mention the half-ton of returned, contaminated cannabis returned in its IPO filing.

- MarketWatch editor Jeremy C. Owens said 554 kilograms would be “equivalent to 10%” of its quarterly sales.
Twitter - Two days before MarketWatch broke the news, the Financial Post reported Sundial had joined the top-10 LPs for sales with $19.3M net revenue in its most recent quarter.
