The Cannabis Trades Association warned the Food Standards Agency in June that a SPS dynamic alignment with the EU could risk thousands of CBD products being pulled from shelves in the UK. So, how are suppliers readying themselves for the fallout?

CBD regulation: The state of play

• What will it mean for CBD brands if the UK aligns with EU regulations?

• What would it mean for suppliers whose applications for FSA approval are still pending?

• What would be the anticipated commercial impact for brands forced behind pharmacy counters?

Innovation & reformulation: Standout launches

• Are any brands still launching CBD products into the market?

• How are brands diversifying with non-CBD innovation?

• Which brands have reformulated their products to meet the FSA’s guidelines?

Investment: CBD’s next phase

• Are investors still putting money into this category in flux?

• Which brands have recently received a cash injection?

• Which markets are they eyeing up?

Innovations: We will profile two new products or ranges. We need launch date, rsp, and a hi-res picture of each.
