A cannabis retailer receives a delivery and scans the package tags in METRC. One package shows a 'Testing' status rather than 'Passed.' What should the retailer do?
Answer: Refuse to accept the untested package and reject it in METRC
Retailers must not accept packages that have not passed required testing; the transfer should be rejected in METRC to maintain compliance.
Which of the following best defines 'chain of custody' in the METRC quality control context?
Answer: The documented sequence of possession, transfers, and testing of a package from cultivation to sale
Chain of custody in METRC refers to the complete, traceable record of every entity and step a package passes through, supporting QC accountability.
When a processor performs an in-process quality check and discards substandard material before final packaging, how should this loss be recorded in METRC?
Answer: As a package adjustment with an appropriate reason code such as 'waste' or 'processing loss'
In-process material losses must be recorded as adjustments in METRC with a documented reason to account for all cannabis material and prevent unexplained inventory discrepancies.
A laboratory discovers it made a data entry error and uploaded incorrect potency values for a package in METRC. What is the proper corrective action?
Answer: Contact the state regulatory agency and correct the record through the approved METRC correction process
Corrections to METRC test results must go through the state's approved process, which typically involves notifying the regulator to ensure data integrity.
A dispensary manager wants to verify that all products on the shelf have valid, passing QC test results. Which METRC feature supports this verification?
Answer: The package detail view showing the linked lab test results and COA for each active package
The package detail view in METRC displays the associated test results and COA, allowing retailers to verify QC compliance for each item in inventory.
Under METRC protocols, what is the significance of a 'lot number' assigned during the QC testing phase?
Answer: It groups products from the same production batch to link them to a single test result for traceability
A lot number connects all packages from a single production batch to the same QC test result, enabling efficient traceability and recall management.
Which scenario represents a QC-related 'product recall' workflow that a licensee must execute in METRC?
Answer: Locating all packages from a failed batch using METRC tag UIDs, placing them on hold, and initiating returns or destruction
A recall requires using METRC to identify and hold all affected packages by their UIDs, then executing returns or destruction with full documentation.
