Mondelez CEO to CNBC: We are exploring CBD snacks

Like other big CPG manufacturers inchelated zinc solgar para que sirvecluding Coca-Cola, Mondelez is exploring adding CBD to its products — but waiting to see how federal regulators plan to handle the rulemaking process before jumping into the segment with both feet.
