FSSAI notifies stds for hemp seeds and seed products.
Dec 09, 2021
The Indian Food Authority – FSSAI has notified standards for ‘Hemp Seeds and Seed Products’ wherein the hemp seed, hemp seed oil and hemp seed flour shall be sold as food or used as an ingredient in a food for sale subject to conforming to the prescribed standards under the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Fifth Amendment Regulations, 2021.
According to the FSSAI, hemp seed means the hulled, non-viable seeds obtained from Cannabis sativa /other indigenous Cannabis species. The cultivation of Cannabis species for the purpose of hemp seeds in India shall comply with Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and rules made thereunder while the hemp seed flour means solid product after seeds are milled to a powder with or without extraction of oil. The flour prepared after hemp seed has been pressed to extract oil shall clearly be labelled as ‘De-oiled hemp seed flour’.
The prescribed standards say that the total THC shall not exceed 0.2 mg/kg in any beverages made from hemp seeds and any other food for sale that consists of hemp seed or seed products shall not exceed total THC content of 5 mg/kg. Total THC means the total amount of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and delta 9- tetrahydrocannabinolic acid.
Also, notification lays that the level of cannabidiol (CBD) in any food for sale consisting of hemp seed or seed products shall not exceed 75 mg/kg. Cannabidiol is the non-psychoactive component of Cannabis species. And the food for sale that consists of hemp seed or seed products shall not be labelled or otherwise presented for sale in a form which expressly or by implication suggests that the product has a psychoactive effect.
About the label for the food containing hemp seed or seed products for sale, the regulations prescribe that the label shall not include: (a) a nutrient content claim about cannabidiol; or (b) a health claim about cannabidiol; or (c) an image or representation of any part of the Cannabis plant (including the leaf of that plant) other than the seed; or (d) the words ‘cannabis’, ‘marijuana’ or words of similar meaning.
However, the label for the food containing hemp seed or seed products for sale may include the word ‘Hemp’. The regulations also prescribe that no person can manufacture, import or sell any food product containing hemp seed or seed products intended for administration to infants up to age of 24 months.
