THE UK Food Standards Agency has set a new deadline of the end of February for the submission of data to support some CBD Novel Food applications, it has emerged.
BUSINESSCANN recently reported the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) had received over 400 CBD Novel Food applications from bulk ingredient suppliers.
AS the UK’s new regulated CBD market beckons BusinessCann has learnt that less than 25% of applications have so far been passed on to the Validation phase.
CBD brands looking for a last minute gateway to UK Novel Food compliance are being offered a £15,000 consortium lifeline by Europe’s leading hemp group.
THE New Year has brought a realisation that the Novel Food deadline is less than three months away leading to ‘absolute panic’ for many CBD brands, say leading industry figures.
