Bringing a National Hemp Testing Panel to Market
- Josh Wurzer, Co-Founder & President, SC Laboratories
Without clear direction from the FDA, states are filling the void by developing their own quality standards and testing requirements for hemp derived CBD products. Unlike their THC based counterparts, hemp derived CBD products are being sold across state lines raising the demand for a single testing panel that will be compliant in every state. Attendees will learn:
- The current state of regulations nationally
- The issues that hemp product manufacturers need to be educated on to ensure compliance,
- The challenges labs face in offering customers a truly comprehensive panel.
