At Medx CBD Care, we adhere to strict legal standards to ensure our CBD products are compliant with UK regulations and safe for our customers. Here is an overview of the key legal aspects governing our operations:
1. THC Content Regulation:
All CBD products sold in the UK must contain less than 0.2% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, and keeping it below this threshold ensures our products are not intoxicating or illegal. Our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with this regulation.
2. Novel Food Status:
CBD is classified as a Novel Food by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This means it must undergo a safety assessment and be approved before being sold. We are committed to following the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidelines to ensure all our CBD products meet these novel food requirements.
3. Third-Party Testing:
We employ certified third-party laboratories to test our CBD products for potency, purity, and safety. These tests confirm that the levels of CBD and other cannabinoids are accurate and that our products are free from contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents.
4. Product Labelling:
It is crucial that our product labeling is transparent and informative. Our labels clearly state the CBD content, THC levels (which are below the legal limit), ingredients, and usage instructions. Additionally, we include batch numbers corresponding to third-party lab test results to maintain transparency and trust.
5. Marketing and Health Claims:
In the UK, it is illegal to make unverified health claims about CBD products. Therefore, we ensure that all our marketing materials are compliant with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines. We do not make medical or therapeutic claims about our CBD products unless they are supported by robust scientific evidence.
6. Licensing and Regulations:
We source our CBD from hemp farms that comply with UK regulations. Farmers growing hemp for CBD extraction must have a license from the Home Office. We ensure our suppliers meet these legal requirements to maintain high standards of quality and legality.
7. Age Restrictions:
We enforce strict age verification measures to ensure that our CBD products are only sold to customers over the age of 18. This complies with UK law and promotes responsible use of our products.
8. Compliance with TRPR:
Our products comply with The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR), which governs the packaging and composition requirements for nicotine-containing products, ensuring we meet all necessary standards.
Commitment to Legal Compliance:
At Medx CBD Care, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of legal compliance. We continuously monitor changes in laws and regulations to ensure our operations remain lawful and our customers can trust the safety and quality of our products. Our commitment to transparency, quality, and legality is the foundation of our business, ensuring that you can confidently enjoy our CBD products.
