Hemp Bombs purchases their hemp from American farms, however, they do not specify exactly where the farms are located. They note that the farming practices are pesticide free, although they do not have a USDA organic certification at this time. Their manufacturing facilities are FDA registered and CGMP certified. Plus, they note that all of their employees receive extensive training before coming on board at their manufacturing facility in Tampa, Florida.
As part of their quality control, each batch of raw ingredients is tested and compared to their standardized samples using a Near Infrared Spectrophotometer. After their products are made, each product is assigned a batch number and tested both in house and verified using third party testing to assess its potency and purity. They also keep records and a small sample of each batch to evaluate stability in the future for quality assurance.
They did not mention how they extract their CBD, and we reached out via email to find out more about their farming, manufacturing, and extraction process. After a second attempt, they let us know it is ethanol extraction.
When looking at their third party lab results, we found that some products were tested for contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents, and others were not. We tried to scan the QR codes on the product, which was unsuccessful. We also tried using the batch number lookup function on their website, which was not functional. We were able to locate some of our products’ batches in the available reports online. Some of our products’ batches were not listed, and we again reached out to customer care.
We assessed the results for their CBD Dog Biscuits, which showed there is 11.29mg of CBD per biscuit, which is 1.29mg more than listed for a CBD variance of 13%. This is higher than the acceptable 10% CBD variance. There is no detectable THC, and the product was not tested for contaminants.
Hemp Bombs offers an array of products including CBD oils, edibles, vape products, topicals, and pet products.
