The ingredient list and labeled cannabinoid content are the clearest way to tell them apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Hemp seed oil<\/h2>\n<p>Hemp seed oil is pressed from hemp seeds and is used as a food ingredient or carrier oil. FDA explains that hemp seeds do not naturally contain CBD or THC; trace amounts can be introduced when seeds contact other plant parts during harvesting or processing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/public-health-focus\/fda-regulation-cannabis-and-cannabis-derived-products-including-cannabidiol-cbd\">Read FDA&#8217;s hemp-seed ingredient explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>CBD oil<\/h2>\n<p>A CBD oil product lists a labeled amount of CBD or total cannabinoids and usually combines the extract with a carrier oil.

Confirm whether the ingredient comes from the seed and whether the product actually labels a CBD amount. Do not infer CBD content, safety, or effect from a hemp image or product name.<\/p>\n<h2>CBD safety and approval status<\/h2>\n<p>The FDA says it has approved one prescription CBD drug and has not approved other CBD products to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. FDA identifies potential drug interactions, liver injury, drowsiness, and unresolved safety questions.
