Cann Group gets OK in the UK

Cannabis company Cann Group (ASX:CAN) has received the green light from the UK FSA for its CBD capsules.

Cann says the CBD capsules made by its European subsidiary, Satipharm, have been added to the list of approved CBD products permitted to be sold in the UK.

Satipharm has been supplying the capsules in the UK market since 2016. But in 2019, new regulations were enacted in the UK requiring all suppliers of CBD food supplements to submit applications for Novel Food Authorisation.

The list released today by the UK FSA marks a milestone for the UK CBD industry, and removes any uncertainty within the supply chain around CBD products.

Over 800 product dossiers were submitted by various CBD manufacturers to the UK FSA for review. Of these, the FSA has rejected over 600 dossiers which did not satisfy the validation criteria.

“The inclusion of the Satipharm products in the list demonstrates Cann’s real commitment to quality and consumer safety,” commented Cann CEO, Peter Crock.

“We see this as a great opportunity to accelerate our sales of the Satipharm range in the UK, and we look forward to keeping our shareholders updated as our distribution and sales grow in the coming months.”

Satipharm has patented Advanced CBD capsules that are clinically proven to deliver approximately 3.5 times higher total bioavailability (proportion of the substance entering and affecting the body).
 

Starpharma to relaunch in UK

Still in the UK, Starpharma (ASX:SPL) says it will relaunch its nasal anti-viral spray VIRALEZE in the kingdom.

The company says it has successfully resolved the queries raised last year by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

In June 2021, sales and promotion of VIRALEZE in the UK were temporarily paused while Starpharma addressed concerns from the MHRA.

In preparation for relaunch, Starpharma is currently in discussions with retail partner LloydsPharmacy regarding logistics.
