First it was the veggie burger, then the Impossible Burger and eventually we may be hearing about the Cannaburger. Foods infused with cannabis-derived Cannabidiol (CBD) continue to proliferate. Today, one can purchase nearly any infused food imaginable, from chocolate to beef jerky.
Although the federal government’s existing policy is that CBD may not be used legally as an ingredient in any food products, many companies are ignoring the policy and using CBD anyway. In turn, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) so far appears not to be enforcing its policy, except in those egregious cases where companies make medical or disease claims regarding the benefits of CBD.
