The Hemp Hound Agency



In July 2022, I submitted a Public Interest Disclosure Complaint against the FSA's handling of novel foods. The reasons for that complaint were:


  • Products have been validated despite not being available to the consumer on or before 13/02/20.

  • The FSA are selectively enforcing MoDR, or as it was defined after the original complaint response, the 1mg THC threshold per product, regardless of size.

  • The FSA by not observing the rules they set out above is creating a Cartel (Monopolies) Market, and allowing GW to influence the novel food process with 16 lab reports for CBD isolate and academics who failed to declare the interests of their employers.

  • The head of novel foods twice dismissed evidence to show that certain validated products weren't available to the consumer on or before 13/02/20, despite him confirming that this was a pre-requisite for qualifying for the CBD amnesty, and the public list for CBD products.

  • The FSA has potentially committed food crimes by diminishing, or compromising the authenticity of supplemental CBD products.

  • Let's just say, the last point is related to the ACI.
