The National Grocers Association has offered support for bipartisan legislation that would allow CBD to be regulated as a dietary supplement. The Hemp and Hemp Derived CBD Consumer Protection and Market Stabilization Act of 2020, introduced September 4 and sponsored by U.S. Reps. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and Kurt Schrader (D-OR), would eliminate regulatory confusion and establish product manufacturing standards to support the growing market for CBD products.
“NGA members are experiencing significant consumer demand for CBD products,” said Chris Jones, senior vice president of government relations and counsel at NGA, in a statement. “The recent surge in the production and sale of CBD has shifted consumer actions and demands rapidly. Many independent food retailers have responded to this demand, but others are deterred because of the lack of legal clarity surrounding CBD products.”
