Labeling Description

Labeling requirements ONLY apply to in-state manufactured products.

All labels for non-adult use products must include:

The name and principal mailing address of the registered processor of the hemp product or hemp-infused product;

A statement that the product contains ingredients that are derived from hemp;

An accurate statement of the quantity of the package contents in weight, measure, or numeric count;

When offering a guarantee, the guaranteed amount of any listed cannabinoid contained in the product by serving size and measured in milligrams, milliliters, or grams;

A statement that the product contains THC, if applicable;

May require a process lot number.

A label guarantee is the declared minimum or maximum amount of cannabinoid content in a hemp product or hemp-infused product. Label guarantees can include but are not limited to percentage of CBD, milligrams of CBD, and percentage of total cannabinoids or terpenes in a hemp product or hemp-infused product. Label guarantees are not required on hemp products or hemp-infused products, but if a product makes a label guarantee, the label guarantee must be traceable to a certificate of analysis.

Warning Statement

New rule updates related to retailers include a required warning for hemp products, with the onus put on retail. The new required language is "Hemp products are not cultivated under conditions monitored by the Cannabis Control Board and are not subject to Vermont testing requirements.”
