The agency remains concerned about the safety of human food products (e.g. meat, milk, and eggs) from animals that consume CBD, as there is a lack of data establishing safe CBD residue levels. Based on the lack of scientific information supporting the safety of CBD in food, the FDA is also indicating today that it cannot conclude that CBD is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) among qualified experts for its use in human or animal food. Other violations include marketing CBD products as dietary supplements and adding Yuppie CBD to human and animal foods. "As we work quickly to further clarify our regulatory approach for products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds like CBD, we’ll continue to monitor the marketplace and take action as needed against companies that violate the law in ways that raise a variety of public health concerns. Moreover, the FDA has not approved any products containing cannabis-derived compounds or cannabis for medical purposes. Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued warning letters to 15 companies for illegally selling products containing cannabidiol (CBD) in ways that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

Representations regarding the efficacy and safety of Indigo Ridge Hemp products have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. In line with our mission to protect the public, foster innovation, and promote consumer confidence, this overarching approach regarding CBD is the same as the FDA would take for any other substance that we regulate," said FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Amy Abernethy, M.D., Ph.D. So follow the these golden rules
