Lab test the products
From a legal standpoint, retailers must ensure their CBD suppliers comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Department of Public Health regulations. Retailers may be found liable for noncompliant products even if they didn’t manufacture or distribute them. Compliance is achieved through lab testing all inbound CBD products, said Matt Oscamou, co-founder of Weller, Boulder, Colo. Lab testing guarantees not only legal compliance but also that the products are safe for consumption.
“Some suppliers release products without the experience and aren’t in full legal compliance,” he said. “Retailers need to make sure the products are exactly what suppliers say they are.”
