CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maple Leaf Green World Inc. (“Maple Leaf” or the “Company”) (NEO: MGW, OTCQB: MGWFF) is pleased to announce that it has been granted California Department of Food & Agriculture (“CDFA”) approval for THC testing. THC testing is mandated by the state of California to ensure the crop being harvested does not exceed the legal limit of 0.3% THC. A component of the pre-harvest THC testing involves random samples from any of the Company’s five (5) greenhouses or outdoor grow to be taken by the agricultural commissioner for lab testing. A THC test result exceeding the 0.3% limit would result in an immediate implementation of a corrective action plan which would cause significant delays in harvesting. The Company is pleased to report that the CDFA lab report tested at less than 0.3% THC. With the CDFA approval, the Company can officially sell its La Crème Hemp Products.
Harvest Update
The company is continuing to harvest and cure its La Crème. The COA sampling collected on Oct 2, 2020 still indicates a pure CBG flower with the CBG concentration increasing to 15.44% from the previous COA at 13.90%. Although this level of CBG is marketable and higher than most strains on the market, the Company will continue to target the 18-20% range on a fully cured flower.
