* Definition of “Cannabis”

Under the Canadian Cannabis Act, cannabis is defined as the substance commonly referred to in the United States as “marijuana” or “marihuana,” as well as all other phytocannabinoids regardless of source, such as hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD).

NSF Canada’s cannabis-related offerings will focus on consulting services only. Neither NSF Canada nor any other NSF company offers certification of marijuana or marijuana-derived products at this time. In addition, products containing phytocannabinoids (whether derived from marijuana or hemp) are not eligible for certification or other services under NSF’s Certified for Sport® program at this time.
