FDACS Compliance Program

FDACS (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) Compliance refers to adherence to the regulations set by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). These regulations are specifically designed to ensure the safety, quality, and integrity of hemp products within the state of Florida.

Compliance with FDACS guidelines involves meeting strict standards throughout the cultivation, processing, manufacturing, and distribution processes. It includes aspects such as proper licensing, accurate labeling, testing for THC content, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Achieving FDACS compliance is crucial for hemp establishments operating in Florida to demonstrate their commitment to consumer safety and regulatory compliance within the state’s hemp industry.
