A serving unit is a single quantity of all pre-packaged total servings for one product package of cannabis infused product intended for sale.
The cannabis product manufacturing facility must determine the size of a "serving" for each cannabis infused product in accordance with Chapter 44:90:07 of this article, and how many servings there are in the cannabis product batch. In the event that the minimum required number of sample increments does not align with the anticipated final form of the product, the cannabis testing facility or designee of a cannabis testing facility must increase sample increments to ensure products are sampled in final form.
Should a cannabis testing facility or a designee of a cannabis testing facility require samples exceeding the minimum sample amount for cannabis product batches containing cannabis infused cannabis, they must use sample increments of 1 serving.
