CBD remains strictly prohibited in food products in Belgium
The Federal Public Service (FPS) Public Health recently reiterated an important rule regarding the consumption of CBD. In Belgium, as in the rest of the European Union, the addition of cannabidiol (CBD) to food products is strictly prohibited.
This ban applies to all food products and nutritional supplements that contain CBD, whether they are oils, beverages, or other processed foods. According to health authorities, no CBD-based ingredient has received official authorization to be marketed as food.
Belgian authorities are expressing serious concerns regarding the effects of this substance on consumer health. In the absence of sufficient scientific studies and validation by food safety agencies, the potential risk associated with the regular ingestion of CBD cannot be ruled out.
Consumers in Belgium are therefore advised to exercise caution when making purchases. Food products containing CBD do not meet European safety standards and should not be consumed.
In conclusion, the FPS Public Health continues to monitor the market to ensure the safety of citizens. Merchants are urged to strictly comply with this legislation in order to avoid any sanctions and to protect public health.
