FDA clarifies regulatory stance on CBD products

The Food and Drug Administration has thrown some cold water on the hot market for cannabidiol (CBD) products.

In a revised consumer update released Monday, the FDA emphasized that it’s currently illegal to market CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it as a dietary supplement. The agency said it can’t conclude that CBD is “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) by qualified experts for use in human or animal food. What’s more, the FDA noted that CBD products marketed for therapeutic uses, including topicals, haven’t been approved and their claims and safety remain uncertain.
