List of CBD approved products published by FSA

A list of CBD-approved products was released by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA). This list covers CBD products tied to novel food applications. As a result, the UK became the first country to regulate safe and legal cannabis extracts for oral use. The FSA list marks an important milestone toward full approval, expected in 2023. Likewise, similar timelines apply to the European Union.

Ingredientpharm offers high-level CBD additive solutions as intermediates for finished goods. Therefore, formulation teams in cosmetics, food, and feed industries should review how easily they can enhance existing products with CBD.

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:

• 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.
