  • The rule's legibility standards cover the label and its required information, not the customer's logo.

Warning Statements (4)

Dispensing label — prescribed wording2
The subparagraph's lead-in reads "This statement, including capitalization:", so the final sentence must be set in full capitals exactly as shown. Verified word for word against the State of New Hampshire's own copy of the He-C 400 rules published by the General Court's Division of Administrative Rules.
All cannabis and all cannabis-infused product (CIP) dispensed by an Alternative Treatment Center. The (d)(1) lead-in reads "All cannabis or CIP dispensed shall meet the following labeling requirements:" — it is not conditional on product form.
Exact text required

NH Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) prescribes this wording. Reproduce it character for character, including capitalization and punctuation.

This product has not been analyzed or approved by the FDA. It is not certified to be free of contaminants. There is limited information on the side effects of using this product, and there may be associated health risks. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery when under the influence of this product. KEEP THIS PRODUCT AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
All cannabis and all CIP dispensed by an Alternative Treatment Center, under the same (d)(1) lead-in. Not conditional on product form.
Exact text required

NH Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) prescribes this wording. Reproduce it character for character, including capitalization and punctuation.

This cannabis or CIP is for therapeutic use only. Diversion of this product is a class B felony and shall result in the revocation of one's registry identification card.
Infused product label2
New Hampshire mandates the disclosure and leaves the sentence to the licensee. There is no prescribed wording, so do not set this in quotation marks on artwork. Applies across infused forms, not edibles alone — the rule scopes it to all CIP.
Cannabis-infused products only, and only where nuts or other known allergens are present in the product.
Required content — your wording

NH Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires this information but does not fix the sentence. Write your own copy; the agency approves it.

Name the nuts or other known allergens this product contains.
Cannabis-infused product containing an ethanol- or isopropanol-based cannabis concentrate whose residual solvent level exceeds 500 parts per million per gram.
Required content — your wording

NH Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires this information but does not fix the sentence. Write your own copy; the agency approves it.

Residual solvent: [x] parts per million per gram.
03 — The Fine Print

Packaging & Labeling Rules

Child-ResistantEvery container is plain, opaque, tamper-proof and child-resistant — build the whole run that way.
  • Child-resistant closure on every container.
  • Tamper-proof seal on every container.
  • A waiver exists, but it is granted patient by patient at the dispensary, not at manufacture.
  • Waiver condition one: the patient or caregiver affirms in writing they would have difficulty opening a child-resistant container.
  • Waiver condition two: no young children live in the household.
  • Never spec a production run against the waiver.
  • Where the dispensary cultivates at a separate site, packaging and sealing are done at that site, not at the dispensary.
Notes on this section — 1
  • No prescribed wording here — the plain-language summary is Royal Supply's reading of the rule, which was read in full from the State of New Hampshire's own copy.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(b)(1); (b)(5) for the sealing location
LabelingThe dispensary applies a patient-specific label at dispensing — leave clear space for it and pre-print nothing patient-specific.
  • Therapeutic programme only. New Hampshire has no adult-use market.
  • Leave a clear, flat area for the dispensary's own label.
  • Every item, flower and infused alike, carries the list below.
  • Patient's registry identification number.
  • Caregiver's registry identification number, where a caregiver is involved.
  • Patient's address.
  • Dispensary name, registration number, address and phone number.
  • Quantity dispensed, in ounces — for infused product, as determined under He-C 402.13(i).
  • Date dispensed.
  • Batch number.
  • Strain or blend.
  • Cannabinoid profile: percent by weight for flower, milligrams for infused product.
  • A cannabinoid at an undetectable level need not be listed.
  • Two statements are fixed word for word — see the warnings list.
  • Infused products carry all of the following in addition to the list above, not instead of it.
  • Infused: type of product.
  • Infused: ingredients.
  • Infused: net weight.
  • Infused: date created, and the expiration or use-by date.
  • Infused: dosing information.
  • Infused: estimated time of onset.
  • Conditional — lay out only where it applies: allergen warning where nuts or other known allergens are present.
  • Conditional: refrigeration statement, where the product is perishable.
  • Conditional: directions for use, only if relevant.
  • Flower carries none of the infused-product set.
  • Multiple labels on a container are allowed.
  • No required information may be obstructed by another label, sticker, seal, or shelf or price marking.
  • Batch-variable field: residual solvent in ppm per gram, where an ethanol- or isopropanol-based concentrate exceeds 500 ppm per gram.
  • No false or misleading statements about health or physical benefits.
Notes on this section — 3
  • All three currency questions this page previously carried are now closed. The rule's own source note reads #10731, eff 11-25-14; ss by #12653, eff 11-1-18 — so He-C 402.19 has not been amended since November 1, 2018.
  • The 2023 readoption (#13673-A) and the adopted rule effective October 1, 2025 (#14386) both land on He-C 402.20, Dispensing Cannabis or CIP. Neither touches 402.19.
  • Note the rule's own numbering runs (d)(1)a. through k. and (d)(2)a. through i. — lowercase letters with a full stop, not parenthesised. Cite it that way to a regulator.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19, "Packaging and Labeling Requirements" — (d)(1)a.-k., (d)(2)a.-i., (d)(3), (d)(4), (d)(5)
THC SymbolNo THC symbol and no universal symbol. Potency is disclosed in numbers, not an icon.
  • Nothing to place — reserve label space for figures, not a mark.
  • Flower: cannabinoid profile as a percent by weight.
  • Infused product: cannabinoid profile in milligrams.
  • A cannabinoid at an undetectable level need not be listed.
  • Infused products also carry dosing information — serving size against the THC or CBD in the product.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(d)(1)i., (d)(2)h.
Health WarningsTwo statements are fixed word for word and go on everything; two more are required in substance only, and only when a condition is met.
  • Both fixed statements print on every item, flower and infused alike.
  • The FDA and health-risk statement must be reproduced including its capitalization.
  • Its closing sentence prints in full capitals: KEEP THIS PRODUCT AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
  • The therapeutic-use and diversion statement prints in full — see the warnings list.
  • Allergen warning where nuts or other known allergens are present — wording is yours.
  • Residual-solvent warning above 500 ppm per gram — wording is yours, and the figure is per batch.
  • Do not set the two your-wording warnings in quotation marks.
  • No false or misleading statements about health or physical benefits.
  • Additional truthful copy beyond the required set is permitted.
Notes on this section — 2
  • Both fixed statements are now confirmed word for word against the State of New Hampshire's own copy of He-C 402.19.
  • The residual-solvent requirement prescribes no sentence — state the amount, do not quote a form of words as rule language.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(d)(1)j., (d)(1)k., (d)(2)d., (d)(3), (d)(4)
Serving SizeInfused products state a dose and an onset time; there is no THC cap to design around.
  • Dosing information on every infused product: serving size against the THC or CBD it contains.
  • Estimated time of onset on every infused product.
  • Applies to single-serving product too, not only multi-serving packages.
  • No per-serving THC limit.
  • No per-package THC limit.
  • Package size is not driven by a potency ceiling here.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(d)(2)h., (d)(2)i.
Opaque PackagingPackaging is plain and opaque — no window, no clear body — and must not appeal to children.
  • No window and no clear or translucent body.
  • No depictions of the product.
  • No cartoons.
  • The dispensary's own logo is the only image allowed on the package.
  • Edible packaging may not bear a reasonable resemblance to any commercially available product.
Notes on this section — 1
  • The rule's word is plain and opaque, with no light-resistance or single-colour requirement attached. Read in full from the State of New Hampshire's copy.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4)
ResealableNew Hampshire does not require resealable packaging.
  • The five packaging requirements at (b) do not include resealability.
  • Whatever closure you pick must still be tamper-proof and child-resistant.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(b)(1)-(b)(5) — no resealable requirement appears
Notable RulesTwo quirks drive production more than the copy does: a patient-level child-resistance waiver, and a hard limit of one image.
  • Build every run child-resistant — the waiver is granted at dispensing, per patient.
  • The dispensary logo is the only image permitted, and it is permitted rather than required.
  • No product depictions, no cartoons, no other imagery.
  • Product and strain names are regulated, not just label copy.
  • Names may not be identical or confusingly similar to existing non-cannabis products or to unlawful substances.
  • Names may not be obscene, indecent or derogatory.
  • Names may not encourage recreational or off-label use.
  • Names may not be associated with persons under 18.
  • Names may not make unsupported health, safety or efficacy claims.
  • Where the dispensary cultivates at a second location, packaging and tamper-proof sealing happen there — ship pre-printed stock and sealing equipment to the cultivation site.
N.H. Admin. Code He-C 402.19(b)(1), (b)(3), (b)(5), (c)
