"Registry" means a database of registered manufactured hemp product distributors and manufactured hemp product retailers maintained by the department.

"Reprocessing" means using, in the processing or manufacture of a crude extract or manufactured hemp product, clean, uncontaminated components, crude extract, or manufactured hemp products that have been previously removed from manufacturing and that have been made suitable for use in the manufacture of a crude extract or manufactured hemp product. "Reserve sample" means a representative sample of product that is held for a designated period of time. "Rework" means clean, unadulterated crude extract, manufactured hemp products, or ingredients that have been removed from processing or manufacture for reasons other than insanitary conditions or that have been successfully reconditioned by reprocessing and are suitable for use as or in crude extract or manufactured hemp products. "Safe moisture level" is a level of moisture low enough to prevent the growth of undesirable microorganisms in the crude extract or manufactured hemp product under the intended conditions of processing, packing, and holding. The safe moisture level for a crude extract or manufactured hemp product is related to its water activity (aw). An aw will be considered safe if adequate data are available that demonstrate that the crude extract, manufactured hemp product, or component at or below the given aw will not support the growth of undesirable microorganisms. 37-12 3622_ §11-37-2 "Sale", "sell", or "selling", means offering any transactions, whether cash is actually paid therefor or not, of hemp, hemp biomass, crude extract, or manufactured hemp products and includes resale and every act of selling that originates from any order that is placed or submitted in-person or by means of telephonic or other synchronous online communication methods, the mail, catalog, or digital application, or the Internet or other online service. "Sanitize" means to adequately treat cleaned equipment, containers, utensils, or any other cleaned contact surface by a process that is effective in destroying vegetative cells of pathogens, and in substantially reducing numbers of other microorganisms, but without adversely affecting the product or its safety for the consumer. "Standard operating procedure" or "SOP" means written instructions on how to perform tasks and descriptions of the approved or required procedures for accomplishing specific quality assurance objectives. "Synthetic cannabinoid" means a cannabinoid that is: (1) Produced artificially, whether from chemicals or from recombinant biological agents including but not limited to yeast and algae; and (2) Not derived from the genus cannabis, including biosynthetic cannabinoids. "Temporary Event" means any event, market, fair, festival, or other gathering where manufactured hemp products are offered for sale to consumers that occurs only once or on an occasional basis, less frequently than once per month. Sale of manufactured hemp products at events that occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis at the same location, such as farmers markets, is considered to take place at a retail location rather than a temporary event. "Tetrahydrocannabinol" means the group of cannabinoids that function as the primary psychoactive components of cannabis. 37-13 3622 §11-37-2 "Theoretical yield" means the quantity that would be produced at any appropriate step of processing, manufacture, or packaging of a particular crude extract or manufactured hemp product, based upon the quantity of components or packaging to be used, in the absence of any loss or error in actual production. "Time/temperature control for safety product" means a manufactured hemp product that: (1) Requires time/temperature control for safety (TCS) to limit pathogenic microorganism growth or toxin formation; and (2) If regulated as a food, would meet the definition of a "time/temperature control for safety food" in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 2017 Food Code (9th edition). "Tincture" means any oil-based, unflavored product that contains no more than: (1) One ounce per container; and (2) 0.3 per cent total tetrahydrocannabinol. "Total tetrahydrocannabinol" or "total THC" means the sum of the percentage by weight of: (1) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (D9-THCA) multiplied by 0.877; (2) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC); and (3) Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (D8-THC). "USDA" means the United States Department of Agriculture. "Water activity" or "aw" is a measure of the free moisture in a component, crude extract, or manufactured hemp product and is the quotient of the water vapor pressure of the substance divided by the vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature.
