SCOPAFF is having in depth discussions on a possible revision to the hemp entries in that directory.
The Committee has decided not to impose maximum CDB levels for hemp products used as feed materials until further scientific data is available on the potential health risks associated with CBD in line with a request made by four EU organizations, a spokesperson for COPA-COGECA, the EU farming industry representatives, told FeedNavigator.
COPA-COGECA, along with COCERAL, the European association of trade cereals, rice, feedstuffs, oilseeds, olive oil, oils and fats, agrosupply trade, the European industrial hemp association (EIHA) and FEDIAF, the European pet food industry group, had asked SCOPAFF to hold off on its decision-making.
The issue of maximum levels for CBD in animal feed is expected to be taken up by SCOPAFF after toxicology reports are available; those studies are due to be completed by the end of the year, said the farming group representative.
“Hemp feed materials have been widely used in animal nutrition for centuries. With a reinvigorated interest in the nutritional properties of hemp and an increase in cultivated surface areas in Europe, this crop is gaining ground and its share in the feed market is constantly expanding.
“According to our understanding, member states are concerned with the possible functional effects of CBD and have been discussing the possibility to define ‘hemp oil’ as an additive and to establish extremely low thresholds for CBD content for the other hemp entries or to classify them as feed additives.
