“The UK CBD Industry has undergone a long evaluation process and is in the beginnings of legitimising an industry that has had to operate in a grey area for quite some time”
regulate the cannabidiol (CBD) market. This is a booming sector offering a huge range of CBD-infused products, but none have been through any formal safety assessment. “While we are not aware of any significant safety concerns
related to CBD, food products do need to be evaluated for safety as part of the novel foods authorisation process. To make sure that consumers can have confidence in these products, we have created a public list of those which are linked to a credible application for authorisation.
KennedysConfection.com If a product is not on the list, it should be removed from
sale. We believe this offers a pragmatic and proportionate approach to regulation, allowing products that are moving towards consideration of full authorisation to stay on the market. “We aim to update the public list twice before 30 June,
with the first update due very shortly. After 30 June, no new products will be added. The only changes made after this will be to reflect changes to the status of products in our novel foods authorisation process,” Rebecca explains. Only CBD food products which meet the following criteria can be added to the public list: • they were on the market at the time of our announcement on CBD (13 February 2020)
• The FSA received an authorisation application for the products by 31 March 2021
• The FSA validated the application or agreed that it is sufficiently progressing towards validation
The FSA are continuing to accept CBD novel food applications, but products connected to these applications should not be put on sale until they have completed the process and secured authorisation.
