Bill > S0512

This bill modifies the packaging and labeling requirements for medical marijuana edibles in Florida, focusing on ensuring child safety and providing clearer product information. Specifically, the bill requires edible marijuana products to be packaged in plain, opaque, white receptacles with specific labeling requirements, including a marijuana universal symbol, nutrition facts, allergen information, ingredients, storage instructions, expiration date, and prominent warnings to keep the product away from children and pets. The bill mandates that edibles cannot be manufactured in shapes attractive to children (such as human, cartoon, or animal forms) or resemble commercial candy. Each edible must be individually identifiable, with a maximum THC content of 200 milligrams per package and no more than 10 milligrams per serving, with a potency variance allowed of up to 15 percent. The bill also requires medical marijuana treatment centers producing edibles to hold a food establishment permit and comply with food safety regulations, including passing a Good Manufacturing Practices inspection within 12 months of licensure. These changes aim to regulate the production, packaging, and labeling of medical marijuana edibles to enhance consumer safety and prevent accidental consumption by children, with the modifications set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
