FSA Should Review 10mg CBD Daily Guideline Based On Latest Toxicology Data
The UK Food Standards Agency should review its recently published guidance recommending an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 10mg cannabidiol for consumers, says food law expert Mark Tallon. Data in the public domain, such as that published by Tallon and colleague Robert Child shows that short-term consumption of CBD isolate is safe for adults at circa 100mg per day if applying the FSA’s assessment approach, he explains.
