US (MA): Kaycha Labs awarded new contract to serve as official state tester

Kaycha Labs has been awarded a new contract by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) to serve as an official testing laboratory for cannabis, cannabis products, and related devices across the Commonwealth.

Under the terms of the agreement, Kaycha Labs' Natick, MA facility will test samples to identify cannabinoid profiles, biological contaminants (such as microbials and mycotoxins), chemical contaminants (such as pesticides, solvents, and heavy metals), and the presence of unauthorized additives.

"Kaycha Labs is honored to partner with the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to ensure cannabis products in the state meet the highest standards of public health and safety," said Christopher Martinez, President/Co-founder of Kaycha Labs. "Our mission has always been to deliver accurate, science-based testing to protect consumers and promote transparency in the cannabis industry."

The agreement establishes a two-year term with the option for two additional two-year renewals, allowing the CCC to maintain a consistent, high-quality testing partner as the industry continues to evolve. The contract includes expedited testing protocols in the event of a public health concern, and all services will be provided in accordance with the Commission's strict regulatory framework.
