The FDA hasn’t provide fair and balanced oversight, so the CBD industry still operates in an unregulated space. This lack of oversight has allowed low-quality or even contaminated CBD companies to finagle their way into the market, most commonly in gas stations or drugstore shelves. A solution to this problem emerged when some of the leading brands in CBD started to initiate a new industry standard for quality CBD: 3rd party lab testing. CBD lab reports let consumers know that the product they’re purchasing has been sent to a lab to prove its purity and content. It’s vital to know the ins and outs of what’s in the products you’re purchasing. Third-party lab testing helps establish trust with the company you’re buying from because it demonstrates that the company is transparent and on top of their products’ quality control.
