Why is independent, third party testing important in the CBD industry?

Hemp-derived products are being sold across state lines, online, and through mainstream retailers. But the lack of consistent regulation allows for the marketing of untested and inaccurately labeled products. Good, honest companies are looking for ways to establish trust, and the most transparent way to do this is with third party testing. 

Upstate Elevator Supply products are tested using an independent, fully ISO/IEC17025 accredited lab to ensure potency, consistency, and quality in every batch. And all of our raw hemp ingredients are tested for pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and bacterial and fungal contaminants to maintain the maximum level of safety. 

Upstate Elevator Supply is a licensed USDA organic hemp processor and is proud to have its 2019 and 2020 hemp crop certified by Vermont Organic Farmers. Upstate recently opened our new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registered, cGMP certified, manufacturing facility in Burlington, VT in Winter 2020.
