FDA-regulated product labels are considered an essential tool for protecting consumers and enabling informed decision-making. Untruthful or unsubstantiated health-related claims, and unallowed Drug Claims, in marketing materials and on labels of CBD products may create harm by enticing consumers to forgo more evidence-based medical interventions. Furthermore, missing or inaccurate labelling of the amount of CBD, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and potentially harmful contaminants such as pesticides, naturally-occurring yeast and mold or heavy metals may result in harm and\/or lack of efficacy. Manufacturers of these products may reasonably be expected to understand and adhere to FDA regulations for labelling and marketing of food, dietary supplements and drugs, both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription, even though FDA has interpreted federal law as excluding them from these categories. As manufacturers prepare for forthcoming regulations, a better understanding of the basic framework for FDA labelling and marketing regulations for food, dietary supplements and drugs is warranted.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/can.2019.0101?utm_campaign=CAN+FP+February+9+2022&amp;utm_content=Article5&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Adestra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"button\">For Full Research&nbsp;<\/a><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Also see<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au\/wp_site\/heavy-metal-and-phthalate-contamination-and-labelling-integrity-in-a-large-sample-of-commercially-available-cannabidiol-cbd-products-2\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><b>Heavy metal and phthalate contamination and&nbsp;labelling&nbsp;integrity in a large sample of commercially available cannabidiol (CBD) products<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au\/wp_site\/fda-ftc-warn-company-marketing-unapproved-cannabidiol-products\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><b>FDA, FTC warn company marketing unapproved cannabidiol products<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au\/wp_site\/fda-says-most-cbd-products-may-not-be-safe-and-warns-15-companies-to-stop-selling-them\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><b>FDA&nbsp;Says Most CBD Products May Not Be Safe, and Warns 15 Companies to Stop Selling Them<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au\/wp_site\/what-you-need-to-know-and-what-we-re-working-to-find-out-about-products-containing-cannabis-or-cannabis-derived-compounds-including-cbd\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><b>What You Need to Know (And What We\u2019re Working to Find Out) About Products Containing Cannabis or Cannabis-derived Compounds, Including CBD<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au\/wp_site\/dr-robert-l-dupont-s-written-testimony-to-the-fda-regarding-the-health-impacts-of-cbd\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><b>Dr Robert L Dupont&#8217;s written Testimony to the&nbsp;FDA&nbsp;Regarding the Health Impacts of CBD<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conclusions:&nbsp;Accurate and informative labelling of hemp and hemp-derived CBD products is an important public health issue.
