FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc. (“SanSal Wellness” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: SSWH), a vertically-integrated agribusiness focused on producing full spectrum natural phytocannabinoid-rich industrial hemp extracts, is pleased to provide this report highlighting the Company’s extensive use of third-party laboratory testing to verify the purity and potency of every SanSal Wellness wholesale and retail industrial hemp extract product.
“Third-party laboratory testing plays a very important role in our industrial hemp extract and finished product manufacturing process,” commented Rianna Meyer, Vice President of Operations at SanSal Wellness. “Not only does a consistent program of lab testing ensure that we are constantly in compliance with state and federal legal requirements to maintain THC levels lower than 0.3%, but it also helps us monitor the health of our crop and to accurately formulate finished products with the extracted cannabinoid-rich oil. With this strict testing process in place, our customers can feel confident that every SanSal Wellness product is contaminant free and contains the precise amounts of active compounds indicated each label.”
SanSal Wellness employs third-party laboratory testing at several key stages of production, including specific tests for potency, heavy metals, residual dissolved solvents, mold, and pesticides. SanSal first employs third-party testing from when the industrial hemp plants first enter the flowering stage. During this important growth phase, the crop is regularly monitored to ensure the plants are healthy and most importantly always remain below the legal limit of 0.3% THC mandated by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Once the crop is ready to be harvested, it is cut, hung, and dried before extraction processing.
Following the extraction process, SanSal Wellness employs third-party laboratory tests on the “first-cut” oil extract. This cannabinoid potency testing once again confirms the required <0.3% THC and enables product formulators to accurately create the SanSal Wellness finished products like cannabinoid-rich tinctures, salves, lotions, etc. Additional third-party tests are conducted after each batch of finished products is completed.
Rianna Meyer concluded, “It’s very apparent that many hemp extract products on the market today don’t contain what they claim to and could never live up to the expectations of an informed consumer. One of the more important jobs that we have is to help educate the consumer that not all hemp extract products are created equal. By extensively using third-party lab testing to verify potency and purity at three distinct stages of production (flowering, extraction, and formulation), SanSal Wellness can produce the highest quality industrial hemp extract products and make consumers and wholesale buyers feel confident about what they are taking for themselves or recommending to friends and family.”
