FDA Extends Comment Period on Products Containing Cannabis

The FDA has announced a notice of a comment period extension. The FDA originally solicited the industry in an April 3, 2019 notice, seeking comments to obtain scientific data and information about the safety, manufacturing, product quality, marketing, labeling, and sale of products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds.

In addition to establishing a docket for public comment from its May 31, 2019 public hearing on the issue, the FDA has now extended its comment period until July 16, 2019.

If you are interested in submitting comments to the docket or need assistance navigating the unsettled and complex regulatory environment for cannabis-derived products including CBD, Frier Levitt Government Affairs and Frier Levitt, LLC can help. Contact us today.
