SUMMARY:The Infused Products  Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:This complimentary virtual conference consists of 3 back-to-back webinars\, all on the same day. We will delve into topics such as GMPs\, nano emulsion\, culinary science\, food safety for edibles and more. \nIn a number of states across the country\, edibles\, topicals\, beverages and other infused products are taking up a larger percentage of the market share. They come in all shapes and sizes- from granola bars to lotions\, lubricant and scented candles; manufacturers are infusing a wide variety of products with cannabis\, creating a market that meets a larger consumer demographic. \nDifferent states have different rules when it comes to product safety. Some states require ServSafe training and local health inspections\, while others have more stringent lab testing rules\, require documented GMPs and even a form of certification demonstrating proper food safety protocols. \nState regulations shouldn’t be the reason why infused products manufacturers have robust safety and quality standards\, consumer safety is. Getting ahead of regulations with proactive safety and quality planning can improve a business’s bottom line tremendously. There are a number of tools and tricks cannabis companies can learn from the food industry to streamline their businesses and gain a bigger chunk of the market share.
