Safety of Cannabis sativa L. extract as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on Cannabis sativa L. extract as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF consists of 57%–65% w/w cannabidiol (CBD) and 9%–17% w/w of other cannabinoids. The NF is produced via supercritical CO 2 extraction followed by winterisation, decarboxylation, purification and high‐vacuum distillation. It is intended to be used as an ingredient in food supplements at a maximum intake of 30 mg/day.
