CBDTQM GUIDELINES


Pacific Roots and its leading CBD manufacturing team and partners have worked together to develop CBD industry guidelines, CBDTQM (CBD Total Quality Manufacturing).

Why did we do this? Since the CBD industry was started by a grassroots movement there have been few industry standards. One may think with the growing popularity of CBD this industry has developed alongside government regulators quality standards and guidelines, or that just saying a product is made in a GMP facility means that it is “good to go”. Unfortunately, this quality mark on manufacturing CBD products hasn’t been developed. The below CBDTQM guidelines have been developed in partnership with Pacific Roots to become the defacto standard in the CBD industry showcasing the highest quality in manufacturing. Pacific Roots has met all the following CBDTQM guidelines.
