18 Jun 2020 --- The cannabidiol (CBD) sector has been filled with renewed calls for safety framework regulation in both the US and EU. In the US, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) filed a Citizen’s Petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), requesting it to establish a regulatory pathway to legally market dietary supplements containing hemp-derived CBD. Alongside a long-term research project in CBD, the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) has launched a Novel Food Consortium, which is projected to set a Novel Food joint application in motion. New research findings from both sides of the Atlantic also aim to bring clarity to the CBD sector.
