AICQ LABELGUARD · LABEL REVIEW PARTNERLIVE

Built to make label-error recalls extinct.

One label error can become a complaint, a Monitoring Report observation, or a recall. LabelGuard checks every label against the released COA, before print and after. Your QAP makes every call.

HC GPP (SOR/2018-144) Part 7 · Canadian data residency · 30-day free trial

Two stages of label review, side by side: at a QA/QC station, an analyst holds a printed Northern Lights pouch while LabelGuard's per-lot conformance screen lists the findings and the QAP decision; on the packaging floor, a gowned operator checks a printed pouch against the label check on their phone at an in-process verification station

HOW IT WORKS

Two checks per lot, before print and after

Every label checked against the released COA
Process of label compliance, checked against the released COA: draft label, Stage 1 pre-print approval, approved master, printed label, Stage 2 post-print review, then cleared to ship

Pre-print approval auto-invalidates if the SKU revision or the COA changes.

Potency to HC tolerance

Total THC/CBD against the released COA, correct 1-decimal rounding, overstatement flagged Critical.

Lot & traceability

Label lot matches the lot being released, tied to the same COA relied on for release.

Date & mandatory content

Packaged-on date, standardized cannabis symbol, health warning, and THC/CBD declarations present.

GS1-128 master case barcode

Case HRI verified as (01) GTIN (13) packaged-on date (10) output lot. A scan breach is Critical.

Every check is advisory. Your QAP decides, and every decision is recorded on an append-only audit trail.

SEE IT IN ACTION

The label check, on screen

Upload the printed label and the check runs against the released COA. Findings come back graded, each with the fix spelled out, and your QAP signs the conformance.

LabelGuard per-lot conformance: the upload-and-check step with the tenant's acceptable potency variance shown, then QAP sign-off and the signed conformance record

THE MATH

One label-error recall costs more than a year of label review. Your reputation costs more.

Retrieval, destruction, Health Canada reporting, the investigation, retailer chargebacks, and the retail trust you spent years earning. That is one small recall. LabelGuard checks every label against the released COA, before print and after, for a flat monthly rate with 100 checks included. A brand with a few SKUs and a handful of lots a month never comes close to the cap, and one catch pays for the year many times over.
