Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the hemp feed prohibition in the FMBV applies to hemp produced on-farm for the farm's own animals.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The ban is valid and covers self-produced hemp fed to the producer's own livestock.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 23a FMBV does not clearly depart from Art. 1(2)(a) FMBV and therefore does not authorize a use ban for self-produced input goods. However, Art. 23b(3)(a) FMBV, based on Art. 159a LwG, permits rules on production for self-supply and thus supports the hemp feed ban; the purpose of THC-free food makes no distinction between bought and self-produced hemp.
