Critical Update: Full Panel Contaminant Testing requirements are in effect now.

These rules are subject to enforcement by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The ABC takes over regulation on January 1, and will begin enforcement on that date.

These rules do apply to legacy license holders through June 30, 2026.

New Bloom Labs is licensed in Tennessee for every required test of hemp derived cannabinoid products. Contact us today and we'll help you develop the most efficient compliance program by avoiding rounds of needless testing.
