CBD Oil Recall Overview:
- Who: CBD oil sold under the brands Jacob Hooy, Greenway, and The Hemp Company 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.
Three CBD oil products 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.
CBD Oil Recall
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the recall notice for products sold by brand names Jacob Hooy, Greenway, and The Hemp Company.
Retailers have been instructed to remove the products from sale and consumers are being told not purchase or consume any of the implicated batches of the unauthorised novel CBD food supplements listed in the table.
An FSAI spokesperson said: “Food businesses that have sold the implicated batches of unauthorised novel CBD food supplements 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 unauthorised novel CBD food supplements are being recalled and the reason why.”
Earlier this year, the FSAI issued a recall notice for products sold by brand names CannabiGold, Canapol, The Healing Stone, Phyto+, and The Herb Stone for the same issue.
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 US 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.
