VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2022 / Goodbody Health Inc. (CSE:GDBY) (OTCQB:GDBYF) ("Goodbody Health" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, following the UK Food Standard Agencies (FSA) publication of the Novel Foods approved list for CBD, the Company's application has been approved by the FSA to the next stage of the Novel Foods submission, being the publication of the FSA CBD Products register. The status of 'Awaiting Evidence' means the FSA are now awaiting the final toxicology results and are satisfied with all the other evidence submitted. Once received, and if successful, the Company will progress to the final Validated status.

The Company welcomes this increased compliance in the sector as the new regulations ensure that only fully compliant products are placed on the market. Those not included on these FSA CBD products Novel Food register will have to be taken off sale. Goodbody Health is now well placed to continue its growth in the CBD market as this process restricts the market to fewer competitors, as many did not meet the criteria.
