We covered some time ago the CBD Novel Foods Application that LW Labs – specialists CBD Manufacturers – had already submitted and made.
In this article, we will briefly talk about why this change is a good one and how it can have a positive impact on the growing CBD market. Already worth millions in the UK alone, and expected to be in the billion-pound-mark in the next few years, it is important for the industry to reflect and grow in a positive direction. When a product like CBD enters the mainstream, it is common for cheaper alternatives and low-grade products to become the norm, and we want to see consumers protected with a real focus on high-quality and premium CBD.
Our mission statement right from the start, as we have always said, is about helping the industry to grow and evolve for the better. We welcome new regulations that can assist with this.
About the CBD Novel Foods Application matters
We must remember that the CBD sector remains in its infancy, even with how quickly it has grown, which is why the CBD Novel Foods changes are a good thing. This is still an emerging market, so the regulations remain thin when it comes to ensuring safety and efficacy for customers. Of course, our focus is on always being safe and legal with what we do, but we welcome these positive changes in any event.
The CBD Novel Foods changes could hopefully make for a much safer sector, and it should hopefully reduce the number of lower quality CBD products that are widely available on the market.
LW Labs, as specialist CBD Manufacturers, welcome the new changes, where companies will be listed on the website for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) here in the UK. The register could be useful for customers to make sure that they are buying appropriately when it comes to consumer standards and quality control. They will be able to check if it is registered, which could help to sort the “wheat from the chaff” when it comes to unregulated and perhaps poorer quality products.
Although it does not mean that what you are buying is the best when it comes to those that are registered, it should help to remove some of the unscrupulous products that have entered the market in recent years. Part of the application process requires information about the supply chain and the manufacturing of the CBD for the company in question.
Will there be more regulations to come?
We do not see the CBD Novel Foods regulation matters to be the end of it. We expect more and more regulations to be introduced as time goes on, particularly with the continued growth of the industry overall. We welcome positive changes not just because we believe in them, but also because they can fit with our core principles and practices anyway.
As a company, we believe in high-quality CBD anyway, so any changes that can affect the quality control and product specifications in the market are ones that we welcome and are likely already to be compliant with.
