New Yorkers Get Cannabis With Their Lunch for ‘4/20’ Day
Manhattan salad and sandwich spot Fresh&Co. is infusing its menu with CBD for the marijuana holiday.
While the Food and Drug Administration considers regulating the burgeoning cannabis-derivative market, food and drink sellers are racing to put cannabidiol in their products.
New York-based salad and sandwich chain Fresh&Co., a popular spot for Manhattan’s grab-and-go lunch hordes, recently rolled out a limited time, CBD-infused “4/20” menu, a reference to the unofficial marijuana holiday. The chain lists such items as a “half-baked salad” and “blazed beet sandwich” among its selections. The salad, for instance, includes hemp cakes, mixed hemp greens and CBD-infused ginger-cashew aioli—with 15 milligrams of cannabidiol.
