Ms Aoife Farrell:

As part of our market surveillance programme around retail sales, we look at a lot of CBD projects. As the Deputy said, there are a lot of products out there, and from the HPRA's point of view, we are specifically looking to make sure that they do not make any medicinal claims. When we find that they do, either on the packaging, the labelling or the company website, we will take market action when required. For the most part, we engage with the suppliers and retailers with a view to removing those medicinal claims and bringing it back in line with the position of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland on the requirements it would need to meet as food supplements alone.
