The 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as the plant Cannabis with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% by dry weight. The Farm Bill does not define a level that applies to finished consumer products. However, the Farm Bill explicitly maintains FDA's authority to determine a safe level for consumer products that it regulates such as foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and drugs.

ABV, alcohol by volume; THC, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol; FDA, Food and Drug Administration.
