European regulators say they are willing to accept the h**p industry’s joint application efforts to demonstrate CBD safety in foods – but they have some words of caution about what collaborations will be acceptable.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has indicated to H**p Industry Daily that it will review applications that result from efforts by two European industry associations aiming to clear the EU bar for approving the sale of over-the-counter CBD products.
The collaboration efforts of European h**p groups come as CBD manufacturers have been grappling with the inclusion of cannabinoids under the EU Novel Food Catalogue.
CBD’s novel-food designation, announced in January of 2019, means that many over-the-counter cannabidiol products must first win approval from the bloc’s authorities before they can be marketed.
