Summary

Earthly Hemps was cited by the FDA and FTC for marketing Delta-8 THC food products (Dr. Blaze THC Delta-8 Slushers, Doweedos Delta-8 Chips, and Delta-8 Weedos) that were deemed adulterated under federal law because they contained unsafe food additives. The FDA determined these products violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by being introduced into interstate commerce without safety evaluation or approval, and expressed particular concerns about Delta-8 THC's psychoactive effects, unevaluated manufacturing processes, potential appeal to children, and adverse event reports associated with similar products. The warning emphasized that Delta-8 THC products have not been evaluated or approved by FDA for safe use and may pose public health risks.
