Ben & Jerry's wants in on the budding CBD industry
The company will be putting CBD in ice cream.
Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's, Burlington, Vt., announced a commitment to include cannabidiol (CBD) in its ice cream innovations. The company said it intends to make CBD-infused ice cream available once it’s legalized at the federal level.
Currently, FDA prohibits adding CBD to food and beverages. The agency has set a public hearing on the legalization of CBD in food and beverages on May 31, and Ben & Jerry's said it submitted comments on the issue.
