Creating Cold Pressed, Novel Exempt, Traditional Oils, Water Solubles, Gummies and Topicals for the CBD Industry.

With 18 years of combined Hemp and Сannabinoid experience, coupled with 40 years in the Food and Supplement Industry, led to us to spending the last 6 years developing Traditional, Cold Pressing, Cannabinoid Rich Hemp into EVOO and Hemp Oils, resulting in Novel Exempt CBD Rich Oils and Water Solubles, in bulk form, enabling Manufacturers and Brands to launch New, Novel Exempt Products.

Whether it's at our Head Office, R&D site, Warehouse, Mobile Laboratory or one of our dedicated Production Rooms at our primary facility, our teams are well equipped, well trained and draw upon a wealth of experience to ensure our methods are adhered to, each stage documented, and paperwork available if and when required.

— James Dempsey, Founder.

Compliance is Key to all we do and so we make it our Priority to forge strong relationships with all relative Authorities.

Well we’ve been doing this for many years now.

Our production facility and machinery has been designed by us.

We are “Traditional” yet totally unique in our methodology.

We’re inspected by Trading Standards, ensuring we’re “Non-Selective”

Local and Primary Authorities both attend and inspect our systems.

We can import and export our ranges in and out of the UK/EU.

We have multiple legal teams, communication with FSA Officials, and both the ear and respect of leading authoritative Canna Professionals.

We are UK Members of the BRC.


We have developed a mobile, Traditional Cold Pressed, Soft Botanic Extraction technique, creating bulk ingredients for Brands and Manufacturers to launch Novel Exempt ranges of their own.

We have direct communication, and both scheduled and unannounced on-site inspections from Primary Authorities, Local Authorities, along with direct feedback from the Head of the FSA Novel Foods, his team and the Home Office.

We have benefitted from such inspections, checking our systems for compliance, as well as inspecting each and every step of our process, ensuring we are truly cold pressed and therefore outside of Novel Foods, classing our range as  ‘Not Novel’.

SBE’s oils, liquids, powders and gummies do not require a Novel Foods Application, and therefore companies can use our oils/resulting range without the need to register for Novel Foods.
