First food safety applications for CBD advance in UK

Three CBD brands may remain on the market in the United Kingdom after three food safety applications were approved under Novel Foods rules. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Monday validated applications for products from Pureis CBD, Galway, Ireland, and Cannabis Pharma s.r.o. of the Czech Republic.

The applications approval means the products may remain on sale in England and Wales until a final decision on their authorization has been made, FSA said in a press release. CBD companies that had products on the market as of Feb. 13, 2020 had until the end of March to file Novel Food applications or remove their products from the market.

FSA said it continues to validate CBD Novel Food applications and will be adding products weekly. A final full list of valid applications is expected to be complete in June, the agency said.
