A serving unit is a single quantity of all pre-packaged
				  total servings for one product package of cannabis infused product intended for
				  sale.
The cannabis product manufacturing facility must determine
				  the size of a "serving" for each cannabis infused product in accordance with
				  Chapter 44:90:07 of this article, and how many servings there are in the
				  cannabis product batch. In the event that the minimum required number of sample
				  increments does not align with the anticipated final form of the product, the
				  cannabis testing facility or designee of a cannabis testing facility must
				  increase sample increments to ensure products are sampled in final form.
Should a cannabis testing facility or a designee of a
				  cannabis testing facility require samples exceeding the minimum sample amount
				  for cannabis product batches containing cannabis infused cannabis, they must
				  use sample increments of 1 serving.
