CBD label guide
What does “medical grade CBD” mean?
The words “medical grade” on a CBD label do not establish FDA approval. You can check the named product, its actual ingredients and the laboratory report separately.
CHECK A CBD LABEL
Three checks before you buy
A marketing phrase, a prescription approval and a laboratory result answer different questions. Use the product name on the package for each check.
Is this exact drug FDA-approved?
Look up the named drug and its manufacturer in Drugs@FDA. The FDA lists Epidiolex, a prescription cannabidiol drug approved for specific seizure disorders. Its approval applies to that drug and its approved uses. It does not extend to retail CBD oils with similar wording.
View the Epidiolex approval recordWhat does the label actually contain?
Identify the ingredients, bottle volume and amount of CBD. Compare the same units across bottles. A milligram amount describes quantity. Words such as “medical grade” or “pharmaceutical grade” do not tell you that a retail product has an FDA-approved use.
Read the CBD label guideDoes the report match your bottle?
Compare the product or sample name, lot number, test date and laboratory with the package. Read which substances were tested. A potency result applies to its sample. It does not establish FDA approval, clinical effectiveness or testing for substances absent from the report.
