CBD candy? Hershey CEO says the company has ‘no plans at this point’
CBD] is a huge trend, so we’re evaluating it but have no plans at this point in time,” Hershey CEO Michele Buck says on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday.
The Food and Drug Administration currently prohibits adding the cannabis compound to food and beverages.
While Hershey and other large food and beverage companies wait, upstarts are taking advantage of the trend.
Chocolates and gummy candy have become a popular vehicle for CBD, but the non-psychoactive cannabis compound won’t be in Hershey products anytime soon.
