Washington, D.C.—FDA has sent to Congress their report on the current state of the cannabidiol (CBD) marketplace.

The report recognizes the public’s interest in CBD, but says that “there are many questions about the characteristics of currently marketed CBD products because the Agency lacks significant information on what CBD-containing products are on the market and there are little data available on those products themselves.”

A main concern is whether or not the CBD content in the product matches what’s on the label, as well as whether or not the products contain other cannabinoids like THC or contaminants such as heavy metals or pesticides. The studies that have been performed, the report adds, are either small or fail to communicate important information like the sample selection method and product specifications.
