A leading industry analyst has said that the US Food and Drug Administration's announcement that it cannot guarantee the safety of cannabidiol (CBD) in food products is likely to 'send shockwaves' through this emerging food sector.
GlobalData food correspondent Andy Coyne was commenting following a statement by the US FDA issued warning letters to 15 companies for selling products that contain CBD, saying that it 'cannot conclude that CBD is generally recognised as safe among qualified experts for its use in human or animal food'.
