Filth and Foreign Material

This category of mandatory testing includes a visual inspection of the material for potential harmful contaminants.

Visible contaminants may include filth, hair, insects, feces, mold, sand, soil, cinders, dirt, packaging contaminants, and manufacturing waste or by-products.

These potential contaminants will be identified through microscopic inspection with a high-powered optical/digital microscope.

Foreign materials are anything not intentionally added to the product. Visual inspections ensure the products are as pure as possible. Some of the items we will look for are filth, fibers, metals, hair, insects, and dirt. We will use next level photography equipment to help identify the foreign materials and provide the information our customers will need to ensure future products are not contaminated with these materials.

Foreign material testing is a crucial step in the quality control process for various industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. This rigorous procedure ensures the safety, integrity, and overall quality of the products by detecting and identifying any undesired substances that may have entered the products during their manufacturing or handling processes.

The types of foreign materials tested for can range broadly, depending on the nature of the product. These contaminants may include physical entities like hair, metal fragments, insects, glass shards, or fibers.

The cannabis industry requires stringent quality control to ensure the safety and efficacy of its products. Foreign material testing is especially critical due to the plant’s nature and the variety of contaminants it can harbor.

Beyond the usual contaminants like hair, insects, and dirt, cannabis can be subject to specific foreign materials related to its cultivation and processing.

Detecting these contaminants requires a combination of visual inspections, advanced photographic techniques, and other specialized testing methods
