US cannabis-infused snacks start-up, TSUMo Snacks, has raised $4 million in a seed funding round led by Casa Verde. Founded in 2021, TSUMo infuses cannabis into salty and savoury snacks. The company's products contain a low dose (10mg) of THC per bag and include five flavours: Classic Cheese Puffs, Fiery Hot Cheese Crunchers, Zesty Ranch Mini Tortilla Rounds, Hint of Lime Mini Tortilla Rounds and Salsa Verde Mini Tortilla Rounds. The new brand aims to "develop new flavour profiles and form factors, further elevating and expanding the way people consume cannabis," said TSUMo's CEO and co-founder, Caroline Yeh. Casa Verde's partner, Yoni Meyer, added: "This capital will be used to supercharge TSUMo's product roadmap as the brand continues to fill a need for differentiated infused products in a space dominated by sweet-centric offerings".
