Rare Cannabinoid Company Publishes Guide to Lab Test Interpretation
Rare Cannabinoid Company has released a guide to help consumers understand hemp product labels and third-party cannabinoid lab reports. The guide explains certificates of analysis and cannabinoid amounts per serving.
Hawaii-based Rare Cannabinoid Company has published a guide aimed at helping consumers better understand hemp product labels and laboratory test results. The guide, titled "How to Read Hemp Product Labels: What's Really Inside Your Gummies and Oils," provides a checklist and a walkthrough of a certificate of analysis (COA).
Consumers often find it difficult to differentiate between products with similar names that may contain significantly different formulas. The guide seeks to clarify how to identify individual ingredients, serving sizes, and laboratory results to enable informed purchasing decisions.
A certificate of analysis reports a laboratory's findings for a submitted sample. Rare Cannabinoid Company's guide assists consumers in matching a report to the finished product, checking the batch identifier and test date, and locating the cannabinoids listed on the label. It also explains how to distinguish between percentages and milligrams per serving, and interpret common laboratory terms like "ND" (not detected).
The guide also helps consumers compare the same cannabinoid blend across different product formats, such as gummies and mints, and understand why the amount per serving and the number of servings per container affect product strength and value. The company also provides information on common questions, such as the difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil.
