FDA is seizing CBD products and sending warning letters.
New York is also banning products, mostly at restaurants adding CBD to food.

The NYC Department of Health is cracking down on the city's bars and eateries that serve edibles infused with cannabidiol—an active chemical ingredient produced by the cannabis plant.

According to Eater New York, DOH is prohibiting the sale of food and drinks containing CBD, despite the fact that it is legal. The office argues that the non-psychoactive chemical compound (meaning it can't get you high) is not considered a safe food additive and will, therefore, be banned until further notice.

"Restaurants in New York City are not permitted to add anything to food or drink that is not approved as safe to eat," a DOH spokesperson said in a statement. "The Health Department takes seriously its responsibility to protect New Yorkers’ health. Until cannabidiol (CBD) is deemed safe as a food additive, the Department is ordering restaurants not to offer products containing CBD."
