This bill establishes the "Kratom Consumer Protection Act", which grants authority to the General Assembly to occupy and preempt the entire field of the regulation of kratom products in Missouri.
This bill requires dealers who prepare, distribute, sell, or expose for sale a food that is represented to be a kratom product to disclose on the product label the basis on which this representation is made. A dealer is prohibited from preparing, distributing, selling, or exposing for sale a kratom product that does not conform to these labeling requirements.
A dealer may not prepare, distribute, sell, or expose for sale a kratom product that is adulterated or contaminated with a dangerous non-kratom substance, contains a level of 7- hydroxymitragynine in the alkaloid fraction that is greater than 2% composition of the product, contains any synthetic alkaloids, or does not include on its package or label the amount of mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, or other synthetically derived compounds of the plant Mitragyna speciosa.
A dealer may not distribute, sell, or expose for sale a kratom product to anyone under 18 years of age. The bill specifies penalties for a violation of the labeling requirements and allows for a person who is aggrieved by a violation of the labeling requirements to bring a cause of action for damages resulting from the violation.
This bill is similar to HB 3067 (2026).
