HempFusion Wellness Inc (TSX:CBD.U) announced Tuesday that it has received USDA Organic Certification for its HempFusion CBD tinctures.
The company said the products range in potency from 150mg (5mg per serving) to 1,500mg (50mg per serving) of CBD per bottle, making HempFusion one of the first publicly traded CBD companies to achieve such USDA distinction.
“Our team has worked meticulously to earn USDA Organic Certification, which supports our commitment to providing consumers with premium and differentiated CBD products as well as new potential distribution points,” said CEO Jason Mitchell in a statement. “This prestigious certification joins our many other compliance markers, further establishing HempFusion as a leader in the premium CBD category.”

HempFusion said it began the process to certify its tinctures as USDA Organic in 2018, as organic products generally represent some of the highest quality and prestigious products on store shelves today.
USDA Organic certification is a rigorous process that involves detailed documentation for every step in the growth, production, and manufacturing process - from what is in the soil and how the hemp is grown and extracted, to how the finished products are manufactured and bottled.
At all times, the company was required to demonstrate its ability to meet rigorous organic standards with respect to its CBD tinctures, including undergoing independent facility and documentation audits to both earn and maintain the right to use the USDA Organic seal.
Ola Lessard, HempFusion’s chief marketing officer, who also serves as president of the US Hemp Roundtable, said the company also has expanded its tincture family to include two new SKUs catering to consumers who are looking for more CBD per serving.
“These new products offer 30 and 50mg of CBD per serving or 900 and 1500mg of CBD per bottle, respectively, providing an even wider variety of choices,” Lessard added.
HempFusion’s family of brands are available through some 4,000 retailers across all 50 US states and select international locations and from the company’s website at HempFusion.com.
