The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent letters to four CBD companies warning them against selling unauthorized CBD products for use in food-producing animals. Companies being warned are Haniel Concepts (doing business as Free State Oils), Hope Botanicals, Plantacea LLC (doing business as Kahm CBD) and Kingdom Harvest.
The agency made clear that it is trying to keep animals and their food safe, considering that so far it has not authorized any human or animal products with CBD. The only cannabis-derived substance approved by the FDA is Epidiolex, a prescription drug that treats rare and severe forms of epilepsy in children, made by Jazz Pharma (NASDAQ:JAZZ). All other CBD products intended for use as a drug (to treat a disease or otherwise have a therapeutic use or affect functions of the body of humans or animals) are unauthorized and illegal.
