Products intended for human consumption in the United States are generally subject to rigorous product safety protocols and labeling requirements enforced by federal, state, and local agencies. While laws and regulations for cannabis & cannabinoid products continue to evolve, it's worth noting that several markets still operate without oversight.
Product safety standards refer to a system of processes and procedures implemented throughout a supply chain to ensure that products are safe for their intended use, possess the composition, purity, and identity they claim, and can be effectively recalled if safety is compromised. They can be mandated by state and federal regulations or adopted voluntarily through self-regulation.
Many adverse events caused by contamination and label inaccuracies could be addressed through improved product safety protocols, regulations, and proper oversight. Until then, consumers should understand the implications for their safety in the various markets.
