More safety information for kratom buyers

Kratom products manufactured, distributed, sold, or offered for retail sale in New York must carry detailed labels. Kratom includes any part of the Mitragyna speciosa plant. Labels must list all ingredients and the manufacturer's or distributor's business name and address. They must state that sale or distribution to people under 21 is prohibited. They must advise against use during pregnancy or breastfeeding and tell users to consult a healthcare professional before use. Warnings must cover possible addiction and interactions with medications, drugs, and controlled substances. Labels must disclose synthesized or semi-synthesized kratom compounds, including compounds made through fermentation, enzyme methods, or other covered processing. They must list amounts of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine by part, weight, or volume. Clear statements must say the FDA has not evaluated the claims and the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Labels must also say, “Keep out of reach of children.” The law takes effect at the same time and in the same manner as the related 2025 kratom-sale law.

Penalties for breaking kratom label rules

Any person or business that violates the kratom labeling rules faces a civil penalty. The maximum is $500 for a first violation and $1,000 for a second or later violation. These penalties apply to violators, not just manufacturers.

Kratom loses ban on all-natural claims

The law removes the specific ban on advertising or packaging that calls or implies a kratom product is “all natural.” It defines “all natural” as having no artificial ingredients or added colors and being minimally processed.
