* § 3398-m. Packaging and labeling of cannabinoid hemp and hemp

extract. 1. Cannabinoid hemp processors shall be required to provide

appropriate label warning to consumers, and restricted from making

unapproved label claims, as determined by the department, concerning the

potential impact on or benefit to human health resulting from the use of

cannabinoid hemp, hemp extract and products derived therefrom for human

consumption, which labels shall be affixed to those products when sold,

pursuant to rules and regulations that the department may adopt.

2. The department may, by rules and regulations, require processors to

establish a code, including, but not limited to QR code, for labels and

establish methods and procedures for determining, among other things,

serving sizes or dosages for cannabinoid hemp, hemp extract and products

derived therefrom, active cannabinoid concentration per serving size,

number of servings per container, and the growing region, state or

country of origin if not from the United States. Such rules and

regulations may require an appropriate fact panel that incorporates data

regarding serving sizes and potency thereof.

3. The packaging, sale, or possession of products derived from

cannabinoid hemp or hemp extract used for human consumption not labeled
