Since the recent modification of the Argentine Food Code (CAA) through Joint Regulation No. 31/2023 by the Minis-try of Health and Ministry of Agriculture, the hemp seed is incorporated to the CAA as a seed for human consump-tion, extending its recognition beyond medicinal and cosmetic benefits. Furthermore, this update validates the use of said hemp seeds as an ingredient in the production of oils and flours. The Joint Regulation sets froth that only hemp seeds meeting certain criteria are deemed edible, as long as they do not contain more than 1% THC. Accordingly, the recognized flours and oils are exclusively those derived from hemp seeds meeting such criteria.
