Our work
Over the past few years, the assessment of cannabinoids has been the fastest growing sector of our business. There is huge consumer demand for products containing cannabinoids, driven largely by the public interest in cannabidiol (CBD) – the major non-psychoactive component of hemp and cannabis plants. Companies are adding CBD and other cannabinoids to a plethora of consumer products (including foods, e-cigarettes, and cosmetics), and there is also much interest in the therapeutic benefits of CBD by our pharmaceutical clients. We have been tasked with assessing the safety of these products, flagging any toxicological concerns and identifying potential risks (for example to vulnerable sub-populations).
