These warnings serve as part of the FDA and FTC's ongoing joint effort to take action against companies selling illegal copycat food products containing delta-8 THC. In July 2023, the two agencies worked together to warn six other companies for selling edible food products containing delta-8 THC in packaging that could easily be confused for foods sold by popular national brands.

这些警告是美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）和联邦贸易委员会（FTC）正在进行的联合行动的一部分，旨在打击销售含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的非法仿制食品的公司。2023年7月，这两个机构共同警告另外六家公司销售包装中含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的食用食品，这些食品很容易与流行的民族品牌销售的食品混淆。

All six of those companies no longer have such products in stock..

所有这六家公司都不再有此类产品的库存。。

'Inadequate or confusing labeling can result in children or unsuspecting adults consuming products with strong resemblance to popular snacks and candies that contain delta-8 THC without realizing it,' said FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Namandjé Bumpus, Ph.D. 'As accidental ingestion and/or overconsumption of delta-8 THC containing products could pose considerable health risks, the companies who sell these illegal products are demonstrating complete neglect for consumer safety.

FDA首席副专员NamandjéBumpus博士说：“标签不充分或令人困惑，可能会导致儿童或不知情的成年人食用与含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的流行零食和糖果非常相似的产品，而他们却没有意识到。”由于意外摄入和/或过度消费含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的产品可能会带来相当大的健康风险，因此销售这些非法产品的公司完全忽视了消费者的安全。

The FDA will continue to work to safeguard the health and safety of U.S. consumers by monitoring the marketplace and taking action when companies sell products that present a threat to public health.'.

美国食品和药物管理局将继续努力，通过监测市场，并在公司销售对公众健康构成威胁的产品时采取行动，保护美国消费者的健康和安全。”。

In June 2022, the FDA warned consumers about children accidentally ingesting food products containing delta-8 THC. From Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2023, the FDA received over 300 adverse event reports involving children and adults who consumed delta-8 THC products. Nearly half of these reports involved hospitalization or emergency department visits, and approximately two-thirds of these adverse events followed ingestion of delta-8 THC-containing food products such as candy or brownies.

2022年6月，FDA警告消费者注意儿童意外摄入含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的食品。从2021年1月1日到2023年12月31日，FDA收到了300多份不良事件报告，涉及食用delta-8 THC产品的儿童和成人。这些报告中近一半涉及住院或急诊科就诊，大约三分之二的不良事件是在摄入含有δ-8 THC的食品（如糖果或布朗尼）后发生的。

Adverse events included, but were not limited to, hallucinations, vomiting, tremor, anxiety, dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness.Copycat food products containing delta-8 THC are particularly concerning to the FDA as they are extremely easy to purchase and are often available to youth. The FDA is also concerned about the processes used to synthesize delta-8 THC, as impurities or variations in the composition process can result in products that may be harmful or have unpredictable effects on consumers.In addition, packaging that is almost indistinguishable from many popular snacks can be confusing for consumers.

不良事件包括但不限于幻觉，呕吐，震颤，焦虑，头晕，困惑和意识丧失。含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的仿制食品特别受到FDA的关注，因为它们极易购买，并且通常可供年轻人使用。FDA还担心用于合成δ-8 THC的过程，因为杂质或组成过程中的变化可能导致产品可能有害或对消费者产生不可预测的影响。此外，与许多流行零食几乎没有区别的包装可能会让消费者困惑。

Several of the companies warned today illegally sell copycat food products containing delta-8 THC, including chips, cookies, gummies or other snacks that mimic well-known snack food brands by using similar brand names, logos, or pictures on packaging that consumers, especially children, may confuse with traditional foods.

几家公司今天警告说，非法销售含有δ-8四氢大麻酚的仿制食品，包括薯片、饼干、口香糖或其他模仿知名休闲食品品牌的零食，在包装上使用类似的品牌名称、徽标或图片，消费者（尤其是儿童）可能会将其与传统食品混淆。

See below:'Companies that market and sell edible THC products that are easily mistaken for snacks and candy are not only acting illegally, but they are also putting the health of young children at risk,' said Samuel Levine, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. 'Those that prioritize profits in front of children's safety are at serious ris.

FTC消费者保护局局长塞缪尔·莱文（SamuelLevine）说，销售易被误认为是零食和糖果的可食用THC产品的公司不仅违法，而且还危及幼儿的健康那些把利润放在儿童安全前面的人正处于严重的风险之中。
