2023 CLEAN CBD AWARD WINNERS
As a team of clinicians, we know the power of using premium, clean health and wellness products. Unfortunately, we also know the serious health risks that occur when consumers use contaminated products.
We independently test hemp products using our 150-point quality inspection processes to help consumers easily identify and use verified clean products.

Some contaminants can cause us to become sick immediately (like Salmonella or E-coli) while others can accumulate in our bodies over time (like lead and mercury).
Contaminants can increase our risk for serious health problems like cancer, heart disease, and immune conditions.
These toxins are especially harmful to children, the elderly, and those with existing health concerns.


Cannabis (and hemp) is a powerful plant. It acts as a sponge, sucking nutrients, heavy metals, and contaminants out of the soil and air. This is important because it makes it highly susceptible to contamination.
Unfortunately, there are NO federal mandates requiring hemp-derived products to test clean from harmful levels of contaminants. This leaves consumers and healthcare providers confused about who to trust.

In addition to the toxins that may be absorbed from the air and soil, it is also easy for products to become contaminated during the manufacturing process. Some sources of contamination include tainted ingredients, harsh chemical processing, and using unsafe packaging.

In the US, wellness products are not regulated like pharmaceutical drugs. Most wellness products are NOT tested for contaminants before being sold to consumers.
To tackle this issue, our team of clinicians works with world-class laboratories to conduct in-depth contaminant evaluations. We carefully analyze the results of each test and make a determination- PASS or FAIL.
Based on our estimates, more than 80% of CBD products will FAIL the Ashford Wellness quality standards!
