Missouri's First Cannabis Safety & Quality Certification Achieved For A Medical Cannabis Company

Proper Brands, a vertically integrated medical cannabis firm, has achieved the distinction of being the first in Missouri to receive Cannabis Safety & Quality (CSQ) certification.

Among its brand portfolio, Honeybee Edibles emerged as the recipient of this coveted certification.

The evaluation focused on Honeybee's adherence to the "Manufacturing and Infusion of Cannabis into Food & Beverage Products" standard, which involves incorporating cannabis derivatives into stable consumables.

CSQ's technical director, Matt Regusci, emphasized that this certification demonstrates a commitment to supplying safe products and instilling consumer confidence.

"Sites who achieve the CSQ certification are proving to their customers that they are willing to go above and beyond to supply only the safest possible products on the market," said Regusci.

Honeybee's chef-curated range of artisanal cannabis-infused edibles is led by Dave Owens, Proper's director of culinary. Owens' background as a chocolatier underscores the brand's dedication to high-quality, safe consumables; plus an "acute understanding of the imperative to transcend basic current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs)."

The CSQ initiative is dedicated to establishing industry standards that align with ISO requirements and regulatory mandates, fostering a safer and more reliable cannabis sector.
