The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned consumers to beware of fake advertisements about food supplements that claimed to use terpenes extracted compounds as ingredients that can be sourced from cannabis. The FDA has not approved any food supplement that lists terpenes as an ingredient, Supattra Boonserm, deputy secretary-general of the FDA said on Saturday. Most food supplements and health beverages sold in markets only use cannabis as a synthetic flavour to produce a similar aroma and flavour. So these food supplement products will not have the medical treatment properties as claimed.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pushing to expedite the listing of cannabis in the National List of Essential Medicines and for food product use, its deputy secretary-general Supattra Boonserm said.
