(CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or "the Company"), the leading vertically integrated cannabis operator in the United States, responded yesterday to a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") informing FDA that the Company has addressed the issues that were raised in the letter regarding its CBD product marketing.
Upon receiving the letter, Curaleaf Hemp, the Company's hemp-based CBD product line, immediately began an extensive review of its website and social media platforms to remove all statements that FDA identified as non-compliant. This includes removing the Curaleaf Hemp blog, and the third-party links in it, and removing any statements and social media posts to which FDA had taken exception. Additionally, Curaleaf Hemp advised FDA that a number of the products mentioned in the FDA letter had previously been discontinued. Curaleaf Hemp will continue to work diligently to ensure that information it provides to consumers on its website and social media platforms are fully compliant with FDA requirements.
"Our industry needs, wants and appreciates the work the FDA is doing to ensure there is regulation and compliance in the CBD marketplace," said Joseph Lusardi, CEO of Curaleaf.
