Hemp-food firms fight U.S. ban, deny marijuana link
Healthy Hemp Sprouted Bread. Hemp Plus Granola. Hempzel Pretzels. Hempseed Energy Bars. Hemp Chips. Hempsi Hempmylk. Those products, now beginning to appear on store shelves, contain what is being promoted as the latest nutritional wonder — one rich in protein, vitamin E and two essential fatty acids.

Hemp-in-food ban spurs high-spirited debate
The use of hemp in such foods as snack bars and salad dressings may be about to go up in smoke.

Hempola products are laboratory tested and contain NO THC — safe and allowa
Greg Herriott, President of Hempola, says “it is very important to note, the DEA ruling would make hemp products illegal if they contain THC (the psychoactive ingredient found in Cannabis). HEMPOLA products have been openly exported to the U.S. from our operation in Barrie, Ontario since 1996 without any noticeable interruptions. HEMPOLA products consistently show ‘NO DETECTABLE THC’ in third party laboratory test results. Hence, HEMPOLA products, even if this proposed ruling were applied, are safe and allowable in the U.S. These laboratory tests are conducted by an approved laboratory under the stringent Health Canada Regulations for the Production of Industrial Hemp in Canada.”
