Label Claim Accuracy & Potency Testing | Hemp Manufacturing Guide – Low Gravity Hemp

Introduction

Label accuracy isn’t just about marketing — it’s a legal and compliance requirement.

Every product label must match the verified potency within an acceptable margin of error (typically ±10%).


⚗️ Step 1: Know Your Input Potency

Use your ingredient’s COA to calculate active content:

Example:

A CBD distillate with 85% purity = 850 mg CBD per gram.

If your tincture includes 1 gram of distillate in a 30 mL bottle, the potency is ~28.3 mg/mL.


🧠 Step 2: Verify with Testing

Run final product COA testing after formulation to confirm cannabinoid levels match the label.

If deviation exceeds ±10%, adjust formulation or re-label.


🏷️ Step 3: Label Transparently

Include:

  • Total cannabinoids per container (mg).
  • Cannabinoids per serving.
  • QR code linking to batch COA.
  • “Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids” statement.

Avoid:

  • Unverified “THC-free” claims.
  • Therapeutic or medical statements.
