The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) has issued a formal clarification after an email concerning flavoring and coloring ingredients in marijuana production batches was mistakenly distributed to licensed businesses.
In an October 8 notice, the agency said the communication originated from its OMMA Labs email account and was sent in error. Regulators emphasized that no changes to requirements governing flavoring and coloring ingredients are taking place at this time.
The clarification was directed to the state’s commercial marijuana license holders, including businesses operating under Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program.
OMMA did not disclose the full contents of the original email or explain what prompted the mistaken communication. The agency also did not identify any new restrictions, compliance deadlines or enforcement actions associated with flavoring and coloring ingredients.
Instead, officials directed businesses to rely on established agency communication channels when evaluating announcements about regulatory changes.
Those channels include emails distributed from omma@public.govdelivery.com, notices published on the agency’s official news webpage and communications through its verified social media accounts.
The clarification comes as Oklahoma’s marijuana industry continues operating under regulatory changes implemented earlier this year. The agency’s current emergency rules took effect August 28, following changes approved during the 2026 legislative session.
The October 8 announcement makes clear that the mistakenly distributed laboratory email does not represent an additional change to the state’s marijuana production requirements.
OMMA acknowledged the error and apologized for any confusion caused to license holders.
