Event Overview:

In late 2020, the AOAC Research Institute launched an Emergency Response Validation study to evaluate proprietary methods for the enumeration of total yeast and molds in cannabis flower. Results from that study have impacted the operations of laboratories in the state of Michigan and provided state regulators additional information in establishing or revising regulations. This presentation will provide details on the results of the ERV study and highlight the role of AOAC’s Cannabis Analytical Science Program (CASP) in developing guidance for the cannabis industry.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Updated results on the certification of rapid methods for the enumeration of TYMC in cannabis flower
• Development of a Standard Method Performance Requirement (SMPR) for TYMC in cannabis flower
• Impact of the AOAC certification process on state regulatory decisions
