block or even in rural America without seeing a store that is advertising CBD."
Companies entering the CBD category need to know the law, Mr. Hahn said.
"My best guess is we're going to see a lot of confusion, a lot of craziness over the next
several years, but I do believe this market is going to be here," he said. "I'm optimistic that five
years from now, there will be a little better clarity."

Getting below 0.3%
Both marijuana and hemp are Cannabis sativa L. Any cannabis plant that is more than
0.3% THC legally is considered marijuana. Hemp contains less than 0.3%
THC. Mr. Hahn said hemp-derived in'Ultimately, we as an industry

0.3%, which are the benchmark most
customers look at to help ensure the
hemp ingredients they are buying are
compliant with current federal regulations," said Tara Froemming, marketing director for Healthy
Food Ingredients, Fargo, ND. "I would encourage customers to dig a little deeper to fully understand who did the extraction of the ingredient, if they have been audited to ensure procedures
are in place to comply with all safety regulations and do they hold certifications such as cGMP
(current Good Manufacturing Practices)."
Viobin, a business of Denver-based PHM Brands, sources American-grown hemp, said Tim Devey, marketing director of PHM Brands. Viobin submits a sample of the grower's hemp to a thirdparty laboratory to ensure it is less than 0.3% THC. After extraction at Viobin's facility in Michigan
City, Ind., the finished CBD raw material (crude, distillate or isolate) is tested again.
The technology to remove THC from a hemp distillate is the same technology used to separate any molecule in analytical testing, said Dan Kohler, chief executive officer of Hemp Synergistics, Leetsdale, Pa.
"At Hemp Synergistics we use reverse flash chromatography in our remediation

minimal to no taste impact since all of the
terpenes have been removed."
HFI this year entered a supply partnership with KND Labs, a producer of domestic hemp-derived cannabinoids such
as CBD, CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN
(cannabinol). KND operates facilities in
Lakewood, Colo., and Arvada, Colo. The
partnership offers extraction, third-party
testing and grower-direct supply assurance to the food, beverage, pet, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries.
"CBG and CBN are two additional
hemp cannabinoids that are starting to
create a buzz in the industry," Ms. Froemming said. "Like CBD, they too are
oil-based, making it easy to blend them
with another carrier oil for easy inclusion
in virtually any grain-based product that
includes an oil in its ingredient blend.
"CBG and CBN are typically provided
as isolates or high percentage distillates,
which means they contain little to no

levels of other cannabinoids or terpenes.
This helps ensure they have a cleaner
taste profile making it easy for product
formulators to use in a wide variety of
grain-based food applications."
Fuller hemp extracts and CBD oils that
have not been distilled contain minor
cannabinoids in addition to terpenes, said
Collette Kakuk, vice president of global
marketing for HempRise, Jeffersonville,
Ind., a business of Layn Corp.
"Terpenes have a robust earthy, sometimes musky natural taste and smell,"
Ms. Kakuk said. "Keeping the terpenes
instead of removing them for what is often referred to as 'pure CBD' or 'CBD isolate' is increasingly desired by consumers as they are looking for whole plant
benefits to receive what is known as an
'entourage effect.' While some consumers
and brands desire this taste profile, others
do not, and we apply a variety of complementary botanical solutions to assist in
