Tyson 2.0 Mike Bites CBD Gummies (UK, THC free)

The US Mike Bites and the UK Mike Bites are not the same product

Search this product name and the deepest result you will find is a review running to around three thousand words. It describes a 1:1 ratio of CBD to Delta-9 THC, ten milligrams of each in a single gummy, an onset of forty-five to ninety minutes, effects lasting three to six hours, and compliance with the 2018 US Farm Bill and Indiana state law. It is a thorough, well-written piece and it is about a product that is not available in this country.

Delta-9 THC at ten milligrams a gummy is a controlled drug in the UK. No retailer here can lawfully sell it to you, and anybody offering it is not operating within the law. The UK Mike Bites are a different formulation made for this market: CBD, no THC, and a far higher CBD figure at 150mg a gummy.

The confusion is not helped by Tyson 2.0's own global website, which showcases the Delta-9 packs with the cannabinoid ratio printed on the front. If you have seen that artwork and come here expecting it, this is not that.

So the practical translation. If you read a review promising an effect, that review is about the American product. If you are buying here, you are buying a CBD sweet in a novelty shape. It will taste of what it says on the packet and it will not intoxicate you.

What the UK pack contains

Tyson 2.0 states 150mg of CBD in each gummy, packaged ten to a pack, which is where the 1,500mg figure on some listings comes from. The gummies are vegan and gluten free, terpene infused for flavour, and lab tested.

The shape is the point of the brand. Each one is moulded as an ear with a bite taken out of the top, a reference to the 1997 Holyfield fight. It is a novelty item as much as a CBD one, which is worth saying plainly because it shapes who it suits.

One thing our own catalogue does not yet carry is the per-gummy strength, so we are quoting the brand's figure rather than a field from our data. If a precise strength matters to your purchase, ask us and we will confirm against the pack.

150mg in one gummy, and what the FSA actually advises

This is the part no page selling Mike Bites in the UK mentions, and it is the most useful thing we can tell you.

The Food Standards Agency advises that healthy adults should keep their CBD intake from food supplements to no more than 10mg a day. That figure was revised down from a previous one in February 2023 and it is the current position.

One Mike Bite is 150mg. That is fifteen times the daily figure the FSA advises, in a single sweet shaped like an ear.

We are not going to tell you what to do with that, because it is advice rather than a legal limit and because we do not give dosage instructions. We are also not going to pretend the number is not there. If you are used to CBD gummies at 10mg or 25mg apiece, this is a very different product and the difference is not marginal.

It is also worth knowing that a high milligram figure is often the headline a CBD brand competes on, and that a bigger number is not automatically a better product. Read it as a specification, not as a recommendation.

Novel Foods, and a question nobody on this search result answers

Mike Bites are eaten, which puts them in a regulatory category that vapes and topicals sit outside entirely.

Ingestible CBD in the UK falls under the Novel Foods regime. Products that have been through the process sit on a public list maintained by the FSA, and that listing is the thing worth checking for anything you swallow. Not one of the UK pages ranking for Mike Bites mentions Novel Foods at all.

We are not going to claim a validated listing for this product, because we have not verified one. What we can tell you is that the regime exists, that it applies to this category, and that we are working through our ingestible range with our distributors to establish where each line stands. Ask us about this specific product and we will tell you honestly what we hold.

That is a less comfortable answer than a badge. It is also the answer, and a page that quietly says nothing about Novel Foods on an ingestible is not being more compliant, only quieter.

The four flavours, and the three you cannot get

Four flavours exist in our range, and being straight with you, three of them are unavailable at the moment. Only Mango Chili Punch is in stock as this page was written.

We leave the others visible in the picker rather than hiding them, so you can see what is due back rather than assuming the range shrank. If you specifically want Original, it is worth waiting rather than substituting, because the four are genuinely different rather than variations on a theme.

The flavours are terpene infused, which in a gummy means the aroma compounds do some of the work alongside the fruit flavouring. It gives them a slightly herbal edge that a plain fruit gummy does not have, and it is the main thing people either like or do not about them.

How the strength compares with the other CBD gummies we stock

Most CBD gummy ranges quote a pack total rather than a per-sweet figure, which makes comparison harder than it should be. Mike Bites is one of the few that publishes both, and it sits at the very top of the range.

For context at the other end, the Blazed jellies are 10mg for the whole pack. That is not a typo, and it is a reasonable place to start if you have never eaten a CBD sweet. Cannapower and Aztec sit in the middle at a few hundred to twelve hundred milligrams per pack across a bag of sweets.

The table gives pack totals because that is the figure every brand publishes. Where a brand does not state a per-sweet strength, we have not calculated one, since we do not know how many sweets are in the bag.

Who should not buy these

If you came looking for the product from the reviews, meaning the one with Delta-9 THC in it, this is not that and no UK retailer can sell you that. Buying these expecting an effect will end in disappointment.

If you have never taken CBD, 150mg in a single sweet is an extremely steep introduction and there is no way to take a smaller portion of a moulded gummy other than cutting it. The Blazed jellies at 10mg for the pack are a far more sensible starting point, and they are linked above.

If you want a CBD product whose Novel Foods position you can check before ordering, ask us first rather than assuming. And if the flavour you want is one of the three currently out of stock, wait for it rather than substituting, because these four are not close relatives.
