Amazon UK entered the now £700 million CBD market in October 2021 and has since expanded the initial pilot-only program to include vendors who have demonstrated their compliance with the UK CBD Novel Food regulations. Producers awarded with UK Novel Food authorization must prove the product is safe for consumption and labeled correctly.

“With health and wellness playing an increasingly important role in customers’ lives, we are excited to increase the selection of quality CBD products offered to Amazon customers in the UK,” said Hussein Rakine, CEO of JustCBD. “The JustCBD team looks forward to working closely with Amazon to expand our product offering to other countries as our partnership and brand presence in the United Kingdom grows.”
