In 2018, Congress ended the prohibition for CBD products in the United States which opened the door to
hundreds of new companies marketing CBD products. You can now find CDB in just about anything, from lotions
and tinctures to dog treats and gummies. CBD products can also be purchased almost anywhere in the United
States, and can even be found in some gas stations! Because of increasing consumer interest in CBD and its’
high-profit potential for companies, many CDB fraudsters have entered the market selling illegitimate
products. There are currently no requirements for companies to perform CBD testing and to establish quality
standards for their products. With no CBD regulation in the United States and an increasing number of
companies trying to take advantage of this absence in regulation, many have compared CBD sales in the United
States to the Wild West.
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) reports that they have issued warnings to many CBD distributors whose
products have not met the CBD levels that the company has reported. Because there are no mandated
requirements to perform CBD testing, the inconsistency of products is a major concern for consumers. With so
many new companies now competing for their share in the growing CBD market and the absence in CBD testing,
consumers must ensure that they are receiving the high-quality products that they believe they are
purchasing.
Many CBD companies are turning to accrediting bodies to demonstrate to their customers that their products
meet a consistent standard of quality. Due to a lack of federal CBD testing regulation, CBD distributors
have looked to third-party accrediting bodies like the U.S. Hemp Authority™ to meet self-regulatory
standards. To meet the stringent guidelines set by the U.S. Hemp Authority™, companies must pass a
third-party audit, which includes CBD testing and analysis by a third-party laboratory, like Siratech, to be
licensed to use the Certified Seal of the U.S. Hemp Authority™ on their products.
