The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has created a list of more than 3,500 food products infused with cannabidiol (CBD), bringing them one step closer to being authorised as part of government plans to wrest control over a flourishing industry.

The move ends a regulatory bottleneck for the industry which began when the sector was given a deadline of 31 March 2021 to submit Novel Food applications for CBD products on the market, after which a public list of CBD products permitted for sale to consumers would be released.
