CHPA submitted this citizen petition to address the definition of a dietary supplement under section 201(ff) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and to request that FDA establishes a regulatory pathway to legally market dietary supplements containing CBD.
This week, the four leading trade associations representing the U.S. dietary supplement industry joined forces to urge Congress to take action to ensure consumer safety and provide legal clarity in the CBD product marketplace.
As many dietary supplement products are being marketed as containing cannabidiol (CBD), CHPA has an interest in this subject and we presented oral comments at FDA’s May 31, 2019, public hearing. These written comments supplement our oral remarks.
CHPA supports efforts to encourage FDA to develop a legal path for CBD as a new dietary ingredient. Hemp oil is already an appropriate dietary ingredient.
CHPA has reviewed the findings of the meeting of the World Health Organization Expert Committee on Drug Dependence. CHPA agrees with the Committee's recommendations.
