Popular CBD brand recalled from Irish stores like Holland and Barrett as high levels of THC found

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has recalled a batch of a popular CBD brand sold in Ireland due to unsafe levels of THC - a psychoactive compound.

The warning comes due to the fact that Tetrahydrocannabinol is psychoactive and is considered a narcotic. The cannabis plant contains a range of cannabinoids – some of which are psychoactive, and therefore affect the mind.

The alert was published on Wednesday for the Jacob Hooy product - which is sold in health stores like Holland and Barrett.

Not all bottles of the product are included in this recall, it is specifically the ‘Jacob Hooy 2.75% CBD Oil, 10ml.’

The batch included in this discovery contains the code 063939-1307, Sept 2022 on the side of the bottle, and can be returned to the point of purchase for a refund or exchange as a result.

“The above batch of Jacob Hooy 2.75% CBD Oil is unsafe and should not be on the EU market as it contains unsafe levels of delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9THC) in excess of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) acute reference dose.”
