Oklahoma State Department of Health Encourages CBD and Medical Marijuana Establishments to Obtain Food Licenses.
As a requirement under existing state law, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) is encouraging current and future businesses manufacturing or selling food products infused with or containing CBD and/or medical marijuana to obtain their food licenses by contacting your local health department. You must also meet all guidelines from the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority found at the website below:
Based on current definition in state statute and recent reports by consumers, many of these new, available CBD and medical marijuana products being purchased are recognized as food. Examples of commonly available products which are considered food under Oklahoma law include, but are not limited to:
* Flavored tinctures or oils placed in the mouth or in other food.
* Assorted types of baked goods, candies or chewing gum.
* Infused honey
* Infused bottled water
* Other pre-packaged food products
Existing licensing requirements are established to ensure proper processing and manufacturing practices are followed and that safe and sanitary practices are used in the production, preparation, and handling of food products. If businesses are not manufacturing or selling food products, a food license is not required.
Completing the food licensing process as soon as possible will help business owners avoid a potential backlog of plan review and licensing applications.
The initial startup cost will include a $425 plan review application fee and a $425 initial food license fee. Thereafter, food licenses are renewed annually at $335.
If you will be a medical marijuana dispensary please fill out the Food & Lodging Plan Review Application.
If you will be a medical marijuana processor please fill out the Manufacturing Plan Review Application.
The forms and payment must both be received before review of application begins.
