Flower Facts Authentication Process: Ensuring Safe and Authentic Cannabis Products 

At Flower Facts, our mission is simple: to ensure that every cannabis product you purchase is safe, high-quality, and authentic. We use a thorough process backed by advanced technology and global expertise to protect both brands and consumers. Here’s how it works: 

Step 1: Testing the Cannabis 

Every immature plant batch receives a plant tag. We work with trusted, independent labs to test the cannabis at every stage of its journey. These tests check for things like THC and CBD levels, terpene profiles (which give cannabis its unique flavor and smell), and ensure the product is free from harmful things like pesticides, heavy metals, and mold. Every batch must pass these tests before moving forward. 

Step 2: Verifying and Certifying

Once the tests are complete, Flower Facts brings everything together. We review all test results (called Certificates of Analysis or COAs) to confirm that the product meets the highest safety and quality standards.

Step 3: Adding the Flower Facts Label 

This is where the magic happens! Every certified product gets a special Flower Facts certification label, created using security technology by Authentix®, a global leader in authentication. Here’s what makes the label special:

  • Unique QR Code: Each label has a code you can scan with your phone to verify the product’s authenticity and learn more about it. 
  • Tamper-Evident Seal: If someone tries to tamper with the product, you’ll know instantly. 
  • Advanced Security Features: Using nano-optic technology, the label has effects that are impossible to fake. 

Step 4: Tracking the Product 

Every product is tracked from the farm to the dispensary using advanced traceability technology. This means knowing exactly where the product has been, so brands can trust its journey. 

Step 5: Consumer Confidence 

When you see the Flower Facts label, you know the product has been tested, verified, and certified. You can scan the label to confirm its authenticity and get details about what’s inside, giving you peace of mind and a better understanding of the product. 

Why This Matters 

  • For Brands: Partnering with Flower Facts means your products stand out in the market as safe, authentic, and trusted by consumers.

Tracking Growth

Every immature plant batch receives a plant tag, which tracks its lifecycle from cultivation through harvest, to ensure real-time compliance and traceability.

Matching and Combining COAs

When raw flower is processed into distillate, additional testing and COA is required. When terpenes, flavors, or additional ingredients are added (such as in edibles), another test and COA is required before the product can be sold. The Flower Facts database keeps, combines, and matches all COAs. This ensures the final product is authentic and all ingredients and processes are documented.

Harvesting

Mature plants are harvested and grouped into a harvest batch and recorded with a unique identifier(UID), along with all relevant details like weight and waste.

Cross-referencing data

The product’s batch number, strain name, and other identifiers are cross-referenced against the COA(s) to confirm that the test results accurately represent the product being certified.

Processing

The harvest batch is transferred to a licensed and Flower Facts certified processor with a “transfer manifest,” documenting the chain of custody. At the processor, Flower Facts markers are placed with both product and transfer packaging to ensure anti-manipulation.

Tagging

Each certified product package is provided with a non-replicable security seal, UID, and secure QR code. This seal not only ensures compliance and authenticity, but also gives consumers access to specific COA(s), exact potency of contents, exact terpene profiles, and any other ingredient information (if applicable).

Testing

State and Flower Facts certified testing labs conduct comprehensive analysis on the harvest batch, including potency, terpenes, pesticides, and more to create an initial Certificate of Analysis.
