Cannabis-Analytics for Cannabis Social Clubs & Hemp Products – Quality, Safety, and Trust

With the partial legalization of cannabis in Germany in 2024, the social and political landscape surrounding cannabis has fundamentally changed. Public acceptance is growing, while at the same time, demands on product quality and safety are increasing. The government’s clear goal with the Cannabis Act (KCanG) is to curb the illegal market and prioritize the health protection of consumers.

At the heart of the new legislation are quality control, product safety, and consumer protection. Consumers should not only have legal access but, above all, safe access to cannabis – through products that are tested for relevant residues and correctly labeled. Traceability, transparency, and reliable analytics are not optional but legally mandated requirements.

At the same time, the legal and technical framework surrounding recreational cannabis is developing rapidly. Many aspects of the law – from specific analytical parameters to the permissible methods of sample submission – are still under clarification or subject to ongoing adjustments. In this transitional phase, it is crucial to work with a partner who actively monitors regulatory developments, provides practical solutions, and upholds the highest quality standards.

This is exactly where FoodQS comes in: we stand for reliable, independent cannabis analytics. Our goal is to offer Cannabis Social Clubs a straightforward, cost-effective analysis solution without the need to establish their own laboratory infrastructure or technical processes.

Because, in the end, what truly matters is a safe, tested product for your members.

Using advanced high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV), we currently analyze the following comprehensive cannabinoid profile for you:

• Cannabidivarin (CBDV)
• Cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVa)
• Total Cannabidivarin (CBDV + CBDVa)
• Cannabidiol (CBD)
• Cannabidiolic acid (CBDa)
• Total Cannabidiol (CBD + CBDa)
• Cannabigerol (CBG)
• Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa)
• Total Cannabigerol (CBG + CBGa)
• Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)
• Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Δ9-THCa)
• Total Delta-9-THC (Δ9-THC + Δ9-THCa)
• Cannabichromene (CBC)
• Cannabinol (CBN)
• Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC)
• Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)

We also test for a wide range of potential contaminants that may arise during cultivation, processing, or storage:

• Mycotoxins (mold toxins)
• Pesticide residues
• Heavy metals
• Microbiological contamination

These parameters are essential for a safe, shelf-stable, and legally compliant product – and are analyzed by us with the same diligence as many other relevant quality characteristics. We are happy to provide you with personalized consultation.

By the way: We do not only analyze recreational cannabis for Cannabis Social Clubs – we also provide comprehensive and reliable testing for other hemp products such as CBD oils, CBD isolates, hemp oil, and hemp seeds. We look forward to working with you!
