BBFC response

    Hello,

Thanks for referring this to us.

The BBFC examined the website https://www.misteliquid.co.uk/ on 04/03/21.

We noted that the url links to a website for an online retailer of a range
of CBD based products. Its products are legal, and are referred to in a
disclaimer as nutritional supplements rather than medicine. We did not find
any material that we would classify 18. As a result, based on the content
available to view on this date, we would not recommend the site be placed
behind adult filters.

We will notify the Mobile Network Operators of this adjudication.

Thanks,

Jonny
