Accessibility statement for the list of CBD food products

This website is run by the Food Standards Agency. We want as many people as possible to be able to use the CBD product list.

That means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

The content that is not accessible is outlined below with details of planned dates for when issues will be fixed.

• Some of our pages scroll in two dimensions on small screens. The problem is most common with tables on mobile devices. We recommend using a different device to view the tables in full. This fails to WCAG 2.1 AA 1.4.10 Reflow criteria.
