KND Labs, a top manufacturer of hemp-obtained ingredients, announced that it had received USDA Organic Certification for its ingredients. Organic THC-free broad-spectrum distillate, CBD crystalline isolate, and blended cannabinoid oils for co-manufacturers are available for order, with additional organic cannabinoid products anticipated soon.
CCOF conducted a detailed assessment of KND’s facilities and processes to grant the organic certification. KND’s approval under CCOF’s rigorous certification procedure further commits the manufacturer and distributor to its promise as the leader in compliance and certification in the CBD industry.
“We have been closely working with some of the largest consumer product group companies and nutraceutical R&D departments for many years,” explained Nicholas Wilson, President of KND Labs. “There has been an increase in requests for organic ingredients, and it became obvious that it was time to add this to KND’s internationally recognized quality ingredients offerings. This new certification continues our commitment to truly being the global leader in quality, certifications, and compliance,” he added.
Consumer expectations and the availability of organic products have continued to move on an upward trajectory. More than half of organic sales are from conventional grocery and big-box chains, with Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Target, and Safeway making up the top five organic retailers. KNB Labs has profited from this consumer trend and continues to work closely with its existing customers and internal R&D team to give the best-in-class products.
“As the cannabinoid industry matures, KND’s Organic Certification commitment shows there is truly a market shift of CBD going even more mainstream,” said David Swanwick, Director of Sales, KND Labs. “The uptick of demand for natural products as well as CBD on the shelves of big-box stores is proof of our industry’s continued growth. We are very excited to have aligned with some of the top distributors and brands within the natural foods and nutraceuticals categories,” he added.
