Food Products Infused with Delta-8 THC Not Safe to Consume, According to FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that delta-8 THC, aka delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant, has not been evaluated or approved by FDA for safe use in any context, including "edibles."
Delta-8 THC is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the Cannabis plant but is not found in significant amounts in the plant. As a result, concentrated amounts of delta-8 THC are typically manufactured from hemp-derived cannabidiol.
