cbdMD Seeks To Obtain Regulatory Approval From United Kingdom’s Regulatory Food Safety Agency (FSA)

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBD.PR.A), one of the nation’s leading and most highly trusted and recognized cannabidiol (CBD) brands, confirmed today that it is on track to submit its Novel Foods Dossier with the United Kingdom’s Food Safety Agency (FSA) by the required regulatory filing deadline of March 31, 2021.

“By allowing CBD product manufacturers to obtain a Novel Food Authorization from the FSA, the UK is now leading the world in CBD regulation. cbdMD believes it’s in a unique position to demonstrate the safety of its products to the FSA and therefore we believe will be one of the few CBD companies that will be allowed to continue to sell their CBD products on UK’s retail store shelves after the March 31, 2021 deadline. We know that major UK retailers have delayed new CBD product introductions until CBD brands are cleared by the FSA. cbdMD believes if it is successful in obtaining FSA approval, it will have a competitive advantage and therefore a significant opportunity for brand expansion in the UK market. We believe that the expected successful completion of this regulatory approval process provides cbdMD a valuable tool as we continue to prepare for other regulatory approvals around the world,” said Chief Marketing Officer, Ken Cohn.

cbdMD is working in conjunction with a leading food safety and regulatory consultant in the UK to prepare the dossier which will include detailed analysis of the quality and stability of our product, our hemp sourcing and extraction controls, our labelling and testing requirements, and the underlying intake and toxicological data related to the safe consumption of the proprietary cannabinoid blend ingredients in our cbdMD product line. cbdMD believes this step is important as a precursor for its preparation of its EU and FDA NDIN submissions.
