Since 2013, the Company has engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of nutraceutical products for both branded and private label sales. In 2017, the Company launched its industrial hemp CBD products for private label sales and its own NutraHempCBD brand. The Company’s products are sold at a variety of retailers including drugstores.

On December 20, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration completed an evaluation of three generally recognized as safe (GRAS) notices for hemp seed-derived food ingredients. The agency concluded that hulled hemp seed (GRN765), hemp seed protein powder (GRN771), and hemp seed oil (GRN778) are GRAS as they contain only trace amounts of THC and CBD. The GRAS notices are for three different hemp seed-derived ingredients for certain uses including adding them as a source of protein, carbohydrates, oil, and other nutrients to beverages (juices, smoothies, protein drinks, plant-based alternatives to dairy products), soups, dips, spreads, sauces, dressings, plant-based alternatives to meat products, desserts, baked goods, cereals, snacks and nutrition bars. The FDA’s complete release of the GRAS notice can be read here.
