“There is a tremendous difference in product quality and product claims on the hemp extract market today, and that is inherently problematic for our customers,” said CEO Frederick Schilling. “Klersun is part of the solution, not the problem. From the very beginning, Klersun has taken initiatives to lead the way in terms of product quality and safety, for the betterment of the entire industry.” says Frederick.
Klersun’s hemp extracts can be found in a range of consumer products including skin care, body care, food and beverages. Klersun exports to multiple countries, including China and Switzerland.
Addressing future FDA regulatory compliance is a key concern of ingredient suppliers and manufacturers of both foods and dietary supplements, according to the company, which notes that, in general, there are two key regulatory pathways for these types of products: Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) or New Dietary Ingredient (NDI). In order to address the potential future regulatory path forward, Klersun proactively completed its safety assessment and self-affirmation that its Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and expects to complete the toxicological work required for a New Dietary Ingredient Notification (NDIN) in Q2 of 2021.
