EU-wide adoption of max THC limits in hemp seed foods a «significant win for sector»
Maximum levels of Delta-9-THC in hemp seeds and hemp oil have been established across the bloc, putting an «end» to «internal market fragmentation» according to the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA).
Following a positive opinion from the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs, the European Commission will amend Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006 concerning the maximum levels of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiol (Delta-9-THC) in hemp seeds and products derived therefrom.
According the the Commission's amendment, the maximum levels have been set at 3.0 mg/kg for dry products (flour, proteins, seeds, snacks) and 7.5 mg/kg for hemp seed oil.
Anmerkung: In der Schweiz sind die Höchstgehalte für Delta-9-THC festgelegt in Anhang 9 Teil B der Verordnung des EDI über die Höchstgehalte für Kontaminanten ((Kontaminantenverordnung, VHK, SR 817.022.15)
