List of CBD approved products published by FSA

A list of CBD approved products published by FSA (Food Standards Agency, UK) has been published. This list contains CBD products linked to novel food applications. Thereby, the UK is the first country in the world regulating the market of safe, legal cannabis extracts for oral uptake. This FCA list is one important milestone towards a full approval which is expected in 2023 in the UK. Similar time lines count for European Union.

ingredientpharm is having high-level CBD additive solutions in the portfolio as intermediates for finished products. Formulation teams in cosmetics, food and feed industry might have a closer look on how easy it can be to boost existing products with CBD content.

Why a CBD approved products list?

Within the recent years, CBD containing products started as a new hype in food and cosmetic product solutions. Small-cap companies and one-man shows went to this unregulated market. Despite of that, product quality was in some cases not on highest priority for sellers, as the FDA showed in recent news:

CBD study on labelling JAMA

  • 26% of products contained less CBD than claimed on the label,
  • 42% of products contained more CBD than claimed on the label,
  • 20% included detecable levels of THC that could cause intoxication at children.
