Not for human consumption is a disclaimer historically printed on some kratom packaging in response to the product’s lack of FDA approval as a food or supplement. It is a regulatory hedge rather than a description of how the product is actually used.
Under state Kratom Consumer Protection Act frameworks, the trend is toward accurate, regulated labeling rather than this older disclaimer language. See KCPA, Botanical Specimen, and Kratom Legal Status.
