What is this? These are small pouches that contain cannabidiol, also called CBD. CBD is a substance taken from the cannabis plant.
What's happening? The pouches are being sold in Germany, but CBD is not approved as a food ingredient in the EU. This means they should not be sold as food.
Does this affect me? If you bought these pouches in Germany, you may have them at home.
What should I do? Stop using them and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions.
