Dangers of Making Health Claims in CBD Product Labelling
One question that we get a lot about industrial hemp and CBD products is how to navigate the requirements of The Food and Drug Administration. One area where you can definitely get into trouble with the FDA is by making health claims about a CBD product on your label.
The FDA has sent warning letters to companies that have made health claims about the effects of CBD on the human body. This is one area where the FDA is definitely taking action. We have not seen the FDA take action about CBD in general but they will pursue you for health claims on your label.
We help CBD companies every day navigate FDA requirements and other federal laws about CBD. Please call us if you have any questions.
