HR 4849 United States House · 118th Congress

Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act

This bill clarifies that hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products are not considered dietary supplements under federal law. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish specific labeling and packaging rules for CBD products sold as food or supplements, and to enforce these standards. The law directly affects CBD product manufacturers, retailers, and consumers who purchase these items, while granting HHS authority to regulate their labeling and safety. It creates a new regulatory pathway for CBD products that were previously unclear under existing dietary supplement definitions.
