Register of CBD products linked to novel food applications

Available Lists

The list of CBD products linked to novel food applications contains CBD food products which meet the following criteria:

they were on the market on 13 February 2020
the FSA received an authorisation application for the products before 31 March 2021
the FSA has validated the application or agreed that it is sufficiently progressing towards validation

While the decision on enforcement on non-compliant novel foods remains with enforcement authorities, we have recommended to local authorities that the products on the list marked as ‘Validated’ or ‘Awaiting evidence’ may stay on the market in England and Wales, pending further consideration. Any products which do not appear on the list or are marked as ‘Removed’ must be withdrawn from the market.

The list will be updated regularly to reflect the status of the products in our novel foods authorisation process.

This list applies to England and Wales only. You can find information about CBD products in Northern Ireland in our CBD guidance for Northern Ireland. Novel foods regulations in Scotland are covered by Food Standards Scotland.

List of CBD products

Novel foods, such as CBD food products, must be authorised before they are put on the market to ensure they have been through an independent safety assessment. Applications for authorisation of CBD food products are required, as these products are considered a novel food having no history of consumption before May 1997.
