Two companies in the state of Florida – Just Brands, LLC and High Roller Private Label LLC – are now seeing enforcement actions from the state following food inspections that revealed hemp products attractive to children.
From Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, “These historic enforcement actions mark a significant step in our ongoing efforts to protect kids over profits.” Commissioner Simpson goes on to say that, “Prior to the changes made to Florida law in 2023, Florida’s hemp industry was out of control and products were being sold without restrictions, including allowing sales to children with marketing and packaging specifically targeting them.”
The specific change he’s addressing goes back to legislation from 2023 subsequently made into law. To enforce the law, the department conducted the largest ever inspection sweep of businesses selling products that contain hemp extracts . According to a release from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the sweep included inspections of more than 700 businesses in all 67 Florida counties and uncovered over 83,000 packages of hemp products, including euphoric, high-potency THC products, attractive to children.
