SMITHS FALLS, ON, April 26, 2017 /CNW/ - Canopy Growth
Corporation (TSX: WEED) ("Canopy Growth" or the "Company") is
pleased to update its patients and stakeholders with details of the
rigorous procedures in place for cannabis purchased through the
Tweed Main Street online store.
Under Canopy Growth management, our licensed producers have
shipped over 300,000 orders of cannabis, representing over
7 million grams of clean, reliable cannabis products to our
customers. Under Canopy management, we have never had a product
quality recall for selling our products, or anyone else's for that
matter.
"Tweed and its sister companies have always had the most
rigorous quality assurance and testing procedures in place to
protect our clients," said Bruce
Linton, Chairman & CEO. "As part of our move to a single
store for all clients, we are formalizing the program so customers
can understand the processes we have in place for every product
they buy."
A rigorous pesticide testing program has been introduced to
reinforce client confidence, along with new investments into
technology to conduct more advanced pesticide testing on-site.
At every licensed facility we operate - five in total
covering 655,000 square feet - everything from plants,
equipment, and our production rooms are uniquely identified,
traceable and undergo multiple quality checks and reviews, to a
level of testing that goes far beyond the industry standard. For
all products sold, we ensure a rigorous review and third party
testing process, and always tell our clients where the product has
come from. This level of transparency and rigour is one reason that
tens of thousands of patients rely on our companies for their
medicine.
Nothing enters our production facilities without the sign-off of
a quality control professional, and every single control point,
from cloning to the final lot release testing, is reviewed by our
Quality Assurance team prior to lot release. Our typical lot
release report is over 100 pages long, and we operate our own
state-of-the-art laboratory for in-process testing, while relying
on world-class third party labs for final testing of product prior
to release.
To learn more about our rigorous quality controls and testing,
our commitment to transparency on where our products are grown, and
our pledge to only grow and sell the highest quality cannabis
products, please visit us at TweedMainStreet.com.
Here's to Future Growth.
