Connecticut’s cannabis labeling and packaging guidelines come from Sec. 21a-408-56 of its regulations:

A producer shall place any product containing marijuana in a child-resistant and light-resistant package.
A producer shall label each marijuana product prior to sale to a dispensary and shall securely affix to the package a label that states in legible English:
- (1) The name and address of the producer;
- (2) The brand name of the marijuana product that was registered with the department;
- (3) A unique serial number that will match the product with a producer batch and lot number so as to facilitate any warnings or recalls the department or producer deem appropriate;
- (4) The date of final testing and packaging;
- (5) The expiration date;
- (6) The quantity of marijuana contained therein;
- (7) A terpenes profile and a list of all active ingredients, including:
