LAS VEGAS, Jan. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI) (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), a preeminent supplier and manufacturer of hemp CBD products through its industry-dominating brand PlusCBD Oil™, is proud to announce its certification by the US Hemp Authority™ Guidance Program.
Established in 2018, the US Hemp Authority™ Certified program was developed by the US Hemp Roundtable, and is designed specifically to educate hemp farmers and hemp finished product producers in FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) to ensure that consistent quality is achieved. The U.S. Hemp Authority™ Certification Program is administered by experienced quality assurance and verification professionals from industry-leading food and agricultural companies.

By completing the US Hemp Authority’s™ rigorous certification process, consumers can continue to trust in CV Sciences’ commitment to the highest operating and production standards,” stated Michael J.
