Utah Cannabis Processor Bond

When the principal (party applying for this bond) is obtaining a license from the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to carry on business as a Cannabis Processing Facility, the principal must post a Utah Cannabis Processor Bond. The bond amount is $50,000 and the bond guarantees strict compliance with  with all applicable provisions of, and orders, rules and regulations issued pursuant to, Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 41a. An individual may not act as a cannabis production establishment agent unless the department registers the individual as a cannabis production establishment agent.

Processors in Utah are responsible for Dry, Cure, Extraction, Refinement, Formulation, Packaging, and Labeling of Medical Cannabis Products.   Utah has two Tiers of processing licenses.

•  A Tier 1 Processing License allows a facility to process, formulate, package, and label products.
• A Tier 2 License allows a facility to packaging and labeling or products.  Currently Utah is not restricting the number of processing licenses.  All Medical Cannabis Processing Facilities must comply with Quality Assurance Testing , and obtain a Good Manufacturing Permit from UDAF’s Regulatory Services.
