LAC 49:I.519. Consumable Hemp Products Labeling Requirements: Certificate of Analysis

A. Consumable hemp products must bear labeling that includes a scannable bar code, QR code, or a web address linked to a document or website containing the certificate of analysis for that product. B. The certificate of analysis must be from a laboratory that is accredited by the Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health (LDH/OPH). Accreditation will be demonstrated by the availability of a current audit from a third-party entity indicating that the laboratory meets the criteria specified in Standard 17025 of the accrediting body. C. The certificate of analysis must include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. the batch number of the product; 2. the date the batch was received by the laboratory; 3. the date the testing was completed; 4. the laboratory methodology used for each analysis referenced in the report; 5. a cannabinoid profile for the finished product listing all major cannabinoid constituents by percentage of dry weight; 6. serving size for the product, total THC (as defined in R.S. 3:1481) per serving, number of servings per package, and total THC per package (expressed in terms of milligrams per gram); 7. the amount of any detected residual solvent in the product in the product in parts per million, except that this analyte will not be required for floral hemp material; detections may not meet or exceed the following amounts: a. butanes—800 ppm; b. heptanes—500 ppm; c. benzene—1 ppm; d. toluene—1 ppm; e. hexanes—10 ppm; f. xylenes—1 ppm; g. ethanol—5,000 ppm; this ethanol limit shall not apply to consumable hemp products designed and intended solely for topical use; 8. the amount of any detected pesticide residues in the product in parts per million; any detection above the limit of quantitation for a category I pesticide (see Table 1 of this Section) is defined as an exceedance and a basis for rejection of the product by the department; category II pesticides have maximum contaminant levels as defined in Table 1; 9. the amount of any microbiological contaminants in the product in appropriate units; total yeast/mold may not meet or exceed 10,000 colony-forming units per gram and total pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria or Salmonella spp. may not meet or exceed 1 colony-forming unit per gram; 10. the amount of any detected heavy metal traces in the product in parts per million; detections may not meet or exceed the following amounts: a. arsenic (As)—10 ppm; b. cadmium (Cd)—4.1 ppm; c. lead (Pb)—10 ppm; d. mercury (Hg)—2 ppm; 11. a cannabinoid profile for the “active ingredient” (cannabinoid-containing distillate or isolate used in formulating the finished product) listing all major cannabinoid constituents by percentage of dry weight.
