06 Jun 2019 --- Unilever’s Ben & Jerry’s ice cream brand has announced plans to develop a CBD-infused ice cream if regulatory approvals allow the move. Although CBD-infused foods are currently not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the agency held a public hearing on May 31 on products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds. This hearing signals the agency’s commitment to adequately respond to this growing industry opportunity. Ben & Jerry’s, however, maintains a positive outlook on the matter.
