Much attention has recently been placed on hemp-derived products marketed in packaging that mimics popular snack foods.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and various state regulators, this type of packaging has contributed to an increase in accidental consumption of intoxicating hemp products by minors.
Hemp product regulations have not kept up with the evolution of the hemp-derived products marketplace. Thus, an ever-changing menu of hemp-derived products have been launched into the public marketplace, with little federal and state guidance as to packaging, labeling and content.
