CBD Ice Cream: Ben & Jerry’s Could Make It Come True

The US company Ben & Jerry’s announced its desire to make CBD ice cream as soon as it is fully legalized

In May of this year, Ben & Jerry’s made public their intention to create a CBD ice cream! They said they “can’t wait to get into the latest food trend with cannabidiol.”

It should be noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently prohibits adding CBD to food and beverages.

If you’re here and have not yet read our articles on cannabidiol, what are you waiting for? Get some context! In one article, we explain what CBD is and, in the other, we talk about the differences between CBD and THC. We also have one where we list legalized products that are already marketed for pharmaceutical purposes in the US.

So by now, we know that CBD doesn’t cause addiction or get you high either. It does, however, have many benefits.

Moreover, Ben & Jerry’s seeks to implement this product in Vermont which is where they opened the first ice cream shop. That was in 1978 and since then, they’ve grown so much that they are among the best-selling and sought-after ice creams on the market.

The company’s CEO, Matthew McCarthy, said they do what they do for their customers. They are committed to their desires and needs, and that’s how they’ve innovated products that weren’t originally in their catalog. Lactose-free desserts, for example. They also confirmed that, beyond following trends, they seek to create ice creams based on sustainable cannabidiol.

Lastly, we’ll have to wait for updates from the FDA assemblies where talks of regulation will take place. We really hope they approve it, so the rest of the world gets a taste!
