CBD in the UK: A Regulated Market
THC Limit: 1mg per Product
The UK has a defined regulatory framework for CBD. A finished product must not contain more than 1mg of THC per container. The raw hemp material is limited to a maximum of 0.2% THC, which our full-spectrum products adhere to, ensuring compliance.
Novel Food & Full-Spectrum CBD
Ingestible CBD is regulated as a 'novel food' by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), requiring a validated safety application. It is important to distinguish our full-spectrum products, which contain a range of cannabinoids including THC for an 'entourage effect', from CBD isolate (pure CBD) or broad-spectrum (THC removed) products. Our products are fully compliant with FSA requirements.
Advice for UK Consumers
- Trust in Compliance: Only purchase from brands like ours that have a validated Novel Food application with the FSA.
- Verify Lab Reports: Always check third-party lab reports to confirm the product contains less than 1mg of THC per container.
- Embrace the Entourage Effect: Understand that the trace amounts of THC in our full-spectrum products are key to their premium quality and effectiveness.
Key Takeaways for the UK
- The legal THC limit is a strict 1mg per finished product.
- Ingestible CBD products must have an FSA Novel Food application.
- Full-spectrum products are legal and offer enhanced benefits, provided they meet the strict regulatory standards.
