Nutritional Outlook launches expert-driven webcast series on CBD quality control, testing

Nutritional Outlook and its sister publication Cannabis Science and Technology are pleased to launch a free, live, five-part editor’s webcast series titled “CBD: The Road to Quality.”

This unique series will take place during 2021, leveraging the expertise of these industry-leading publications and delivering insight and best practices on critical issues such as cultivation, extraction, processing, testing, third-party certifications, and much more.

Quality control is a crucial problem in the hemp cannabidiol (CBD) market. The quality gap is widening as more products enter the space. Government regulators, industry critics, and responsible market players understand many products in the market are failing to meet label claims. As competition grows in the CBD market, and as industry scrutiny increases, responsible companies must stand out by ensuring they employ industry best practices for putting credible, high-quality products on the shelf.

The first webcast, “Controlling THC Content,” kicks off on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 3 PM EDT / 2 PM CDT / 12 PM PDT. During this session, hemp cultivation experts will explore the best practices and methods for controlling tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. Experts will also provide an update on the legal landscape and challenges facing the industry.

“CBD: The Road to Quality” webcast series programs and dates are as follows:

• Chapter 2: Extraction and Processing Excellence (May 2021)
• Chapter 3: Testing: Methods, Requirements, and Best Practices (July 2021)
• Chapter 4: How to Choose the Right Testing Lab (September 2021)
• Chapter 5: Meeting Label Claims and the Role of Certification (November 2021)

Details on upcoming sessions will be announced in the next few months.
