Heed this warning.
The FDA noted that several of the companies were also warned about additional violations of the FD&C Act, particularly concerning CBD products. The violations included"marketing CBD products claiming to treat medical conditions in humans and animals, promoting CBD products as dietary supplements, and adding CBD to human and animal foods.""It is currently illegal to market CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it as a dietary supplement," the agency explained.
One of the companies has also been marketing CBD products for food-producing animals, according to the FDA. The agency warned that this could also impact consumers, as there are"potential safety concerns related to human food products" such as meat, milk, and eggs produced from animals that are given CBD,"as there is a lack of data on safe CBD residue levels."This isn't the first time the FDA has had to send warning letters in regards to CBD products.
The FDA has been sending warning letters since at least 2015, and 12 companies—including the five just issued—have been cited in the first five months of 2022 alone. Alongside the warnings, the agency has also tested the chemical content of cannabinoid compounds in some of the products sold by these companies and"many were found to not contain the levels of CBD" they were claiming to when marketing to buyers.
