@FDACommissioner

• · FDA and FTC have issued a joint warning letter to a company marketing unapproved cannabidiol products with unsubstantiated claims to treat teething and ear pain in infants, autism, ADHD, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, among other conditions/diseases.
• · We are working to protect Americans from companies marketing products with unsubstantiated claims. This is especially concerning when companies are peddling unproven CBD products for use in vulnerable populations like infants and children.
• · FDA treats cannabis/cannabis-derived compounds the same as any other substance. As we examine potential regulatory pathways for the lawful marketing of cannabis products, protecting & promoting public health through sound, science-based decision-making remains our top priority.
• · We’ve sent numerous warning letters that focus on matters of significant public health concern to CBD companies, and these actions should send a message to the broader market about complying with FDA requirements.

@DrAbernethyFDA

• · FDA’s working quickly to further clarify our regulatory approach for products with cannabis/cannabis-derivatives like CBD while using all available resources to monitor the marketplace & protect public health by taking action as needed against companies.
• · We recognize that there is significant public interest in cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds, however we must work together to fill in the knowledge gaps about the science, safety and quality of many of these products.
• · We are committed to advancing our regulation of these products through an approach that, in line with our mission, prioritizes public health, fosters innovation and promotes consumer confidence. We plan to provide an update on our progress in this area in the near future.
