In order to be sold or marketed, an industrial hemp product that contains cannabinoids (Cannabinoid Product) is required to be registered annually with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. 

Industrial hemp products that contain no cannabinoids do not require registration.


What is considered “One Individual Cannabinoid Product”?

  • An individual cannabinoid product is defined as a product with the same cannabinoid content with one single flavor or scent.
  • If a product has multiple flavors, each flavor must be registered and paid for separately.
  • If a product comes in different cannabinoid dosage amounts the products are considered separate products and must be registered individually.
    • NOTE: Separate COAs will be required for each product in its final form.

What Is an industrial hemp product class?

  • An Industrial hemp product class is a group of cannabinoid products that have all ingredients in common; and are produced by or for the same company.
  • A group of cannabinoid products in the same industrial hemp product class may be registered for one fee. (Example: 200 mg Tincture Mint Flavor sold in 2 oz and 4 oz bottles)
    • NOTE: All label and testing requirements will still be required for each product

Product types that are NOT allowed

  • Products cannot be considered appealing to children
    • No characters/mascots

The following compounds are considered adulterants and are not allowed in any amounts

UDAF may make rules to immediately ban or limit the presence of any substance in a cannabinoid product after receiving a recommendation to do so from a public health authority

The state is concerned with the presence of synthetic or artificially derived cannabinoids in the market, and is moving away from allowing any of them to  be present in products available in the hemp market. 

Currently we consider the following compounds adulterants and are not allowed in any amounts. This is not an exhaustive list

  • THC-O Acetate
  • HHC
  • EXO-THC
