New study shows that nearly 60% of CBD products marketed in the United States don’t match the percentage of CBD advertised on products’ labeling.
Also, levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, four phathalates and CBD labeling accuracy were quantified in a selection of commercially available CBD products in the US. Results? Lead was detected in 42 %, cadmium in 8 %, arsenic in 28 %, and mercury in 37 % of 121 edible CBD products.
The conclusion is simple: there is substantial discrepancy between the product label claims for CBD potency and the amount measured in both edible and topical products, underscoring the need for tight regulations for CBD product label integrity to protect consumers.
