An Irish brand of CBD oils is recalling all batches of product due to the presence of unsafe levels of a psychoactive component called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
That's according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), which confirmed the batches of GreenHeart CBD oils also contain lower amounts of CBD than declared on the product, which they stated is "misleading to the consumer".
The products are deemed to contain unsafe levels of THC based on the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) acute reference dose.
