FDA and FTC issue warning letters for marketing imitation food products containing Delta-8 THC
USA
Jul 19, 2024
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued warning letters to five companies for illegally selling copycat food products containing delta-8 THC and introducing them into the marketplace in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The warning letters were issued to: Hippy Mood, Earthly Hemps, Shamrockshrooms.com, Mary Janes Bakery Co. LLC and Life Leaf Medical CBD Center. The FDA also issued a warning letter independently to the company GrowGod LLC for the same FD&C Act violations.
These warnings serve as part of the FDA and FTC’s ongoing joint effort to take action against companies selling illegal copycat food products containing delta-8 THC. In July 2023, the two agencies worked together to warn six other companies for selling edible food products containing delta-8 THC in packaging that could easily be confused for foods sold by popular national brands. All six of those companies no longer have such products in stock.
