⚖️ CBD Law, Safety & Transparency: Understanding UK Regulations in 2025

🇬🇧 Full Article

Is CBD Legal in the UK (2025 Update)?

Yes — CBD is legal across the United Kingdom when it meets specific Home Office and FSA regulations.
Legal CBD must:

  • Come from EU-approved industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.).

  • Contain no more than 0.2 % THC in the raw material.

  • Be THC-free or THC-compliant in the finished product.

  • Be sold as a food supplement, not a medicine, unless MHRA-licensed.

All Pro CBD UK products are fully compliant, lab-verified, and registered under FSA Novel Food applications for transparency and safety.

THC Compliance in the UK — The 0.2 % Rule Explained

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in cannabis.
Under UK law, CBD products must remain below 0.2 % THC in the plant and show non-detectable THC in the final product.
This ensures all Pro CBD UK oils, vapes, and gummies are non-intoxicating and safe to use.

Every batch undergoes third-party lab testing to confirm THC compliance, guaranteeing legality and purity.

How to Verify CBD Legality When Buying Online

Before purchasing CBD online, follow this quick UK checklist:
1️⃣ Check the Lab Report (COA) — It should confirm cannabinoid content and THC levels.
2️⃣ Look for UK Address & Company Info — Legitimate brands show clear contact details.
3️⃣ Review FSA Compliance Status — Only registered companies can sell ingestible CBD.
4️⃣ Avoid Medical Claims — Legal CBD brands provide education, not medical promises.

✅ Pro CBD UK lists COAs and registration details openly on our Lab Reports page.

What Are Novel Foods and Why They Matter

The FSA (Novel Foods Regulation) ensures all CBD products are safe for consumption.
Since 2021, any ingestible CBD (oil, capsule, gummy) must be submitted for Novel Food approval, including evidence of stability, toxicology and traceability.
This protects consumers from unsafe or unverified products.

Pro CBD UK follows these standards closely, partnering with certified manufacturers whose CBD extracts are on the approved Novel Foods list.
