CBD Recall Overview:
- Who: CBD products sold under the brands CannabiGold, Canapol, The Healing Stone, Phyto+, and The Herb Stone have been recalled.
- Why: The Food Safety Authority of Ireland found the products to contain “unsafe” levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
- Where: The recalls apply to products sold in the Republic of Ireland.
A range of CBD products, including oils and food supplements, have been recalled in Ireland after they were found to contain “unsafe” levels of delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC.
THC is the active ingredient in cannabis which gets users high. It is psychoactive and considered a narcotic. CBD, however, is not psychoactive, though research into its potential benefits and side effects is still ongoing.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the recall notice for products sold by brand names CannabiGold, Canapol, The Healing Stone, Phyto+, and The Herb Stone.
A spokesperson for the FSAI told Thejournal.ie that distributors had been requested to withdraw the products from the market and retailers were requested to remove the products from sale.
“Food businesses that have sold the implicated batches of the implicated CBD products to consumers must display a point-of-sale notice in store and on websites if sold online, to inform consumers that the implicated batches of these CBD products are being recalled and the reason why.”
In Ireland, THC is controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977.
In the United States, injectable CBD manufacturer Biota Biosciences agreed to voluntarily recall three of its products in June 2020 following a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA warned the company that advertising the products as a treatment for opioid addiction made them subject to FDA rules governing the marketing of drugs. As a result, the FDA says the products are in violation of FDA regulations since they have not received FDA approval.
