14 Feb 2020 --- UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has set a deadline for cannabidiol (CBD) companies to provide more information about their products and their contents. The FSA gives industry by March 31, 2021, to submit valid novel food authorization applications. Beyond that date, only products with a valid application will be allowed to remain on the market. The process ensures that novel foods meet legal standards, including on safety and content. Moreover, the agency advises healthy adults not to consume more than 70 mg daily, while vulnerable groups, such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking any medication, should abstain entirely.
