21 Jan 2020 --- As legislation around the world concerning various forms of cannabis relaxes, a recent European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) report has revealed the proliferation of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the main psychoactive compound in cannabis – in food, beverages and supplements containing hemp. The organization has previously concluded that the compound can have adverse health effects. However, the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) has hit back, arguing that THC is an inherent element of hemp and calling for a “harmonized and reasoned” approach when it comes to THC limits in food in the EU.
