The American Hemp University has awarded 13 CBD companies & nbsp; a high quality seal earlier this month.
The goal is to "standardize quality control and build a safer hemp industry, from seed to tablet," according to a statement.
The following companies received & nbsp; seal:
- CV Sciences, San Diego, CA
- HempMeds, San Diego, California
- Medterra CBD, Irvine, California
- Balanced Health Botanicals, Louisville, CO
- HD Distribution, Louisville, CO
- Bluebird Botanicals, Louisville, CO
- Charlotte's Web, Boulder, CO
- MetaCan, Miramar, FL
- GenCanna, Winchester, KY
- Shell Farms, Winchester, KY
- Nature's Hemp Oil, Lexington, KY
- Hempworx, Las Vegas, NV
- Barlean's, Ferndale, WA
"Consumers need to know who the right ones are – who is doing their best to keep the product safe," said Marielle Weintraub, PhD, president of the U.S. Hemp Authority.
the American Hemp Authority will also advise brands on the use of the seal on packaging and product marketing materials.
The US Hemp Authorities Certified Seals Program was established in 2018 and funded by the US Hemp Roundtable. It was developed with the guidance of David Bossman, a founding member of the AgWin Group, and includes Hemp Industries Association, pilot project participants, industry-leading companies, leading test labs and evaluators. quality.
Joel Stanley, president of Charlotte's Web, worked with the hemp authority to develop quality standards.
"The industry chooses to self-monitor and raise the level of quality and consistency," said Stanley.
The next Medterra product line will carry the new US Hemp Authority Seal.

MedterraJay Hartenbach, the company's CEO, said the company's products will now have the seal.
The company started in the Hartenbach salon two years ago and now sells tinctures, capsules, supplements, a topical cream, a monthly health formula and pet dyes. His topical cooling cream will soon be sold at CVS.
"I really think this is going to be a differentiating factor at the level of the major national retailers," said Hartenbach.

Amanda Bowman, Quality Assurance Manager at Bluebird Botanicals, said Bluebird had also played an important role in creating guidelines for the seal. Brandon Beatty, founder and CEO of the company, is also Executive Vice President of the Hemp Roundtable. He also participated in the drafting of the hemp agriculture law of 2018, adopted in the 2018 Agricultural Invoice.
Although the amount of CBD-based products is exciting, it's also scary, because of the obscure regulations, said Bowman.
"If you do not already have practices in place, you risk so much compromising your safety with unclear instructions," she said. "Some people are just there to make money and do not really care about a safe product.
NYC and other cities crack down on CBD in foods and beverages last month, forbidding cafes and bars to add it to products, as the FDA still finds it illegal.
Outgoing FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted on Tuesday that CBD regulation could take years, noting that creating rules for conventional products could take two to three years.
Until then, the companies responsible for the DBC & nbsp; will probably push for new regulations to clarify quality standards.
In general, consumers should look for companies that test their products by third parties, which should be explained on their websites. (Note: If the third party has the same address or an address similar to that of the company, it is probably not true third-party testing.) Consumers should not be afraid to contact businesses and ask questions.
"We're right at that point, where we can explain the deep level of what it should look like, what a consistent product looks like," said Stanley.
