Kratom is becoming increasingly popular with people looking for natural and alternative options to improve their health and well-being. However, there are certain rules that must be followed when offering and promoting Kratom. If these are not followed, Kratom may be considered a food, which may affect its sales and availability. If you also want to learn more about the circumstances under which Kratom is not considered a food and can be sold for collectible purposes, then read on.
A) The first condition why the SzPI does not have to consider Kratom as a food is if the product is labeled as a non-food item. This fact must be clearly stated on the packaging, but also in the product offer and promotion, for example in an e-shop or advertising websites. The wording can be, for example, "the product is not a food - in no case is it intended for consumption alone or in a mixture with other substances".
B) The category the product falls into and the instructions for use are also important. The instructions should be concise and clearly indicate that the use of Kratom is other than consumption, for example as a cosmetic, cleaning agent, etc.
C) The SzPI does not recognize Kratom as a food when the product offer includes instructions for use regarding its consumption. Such information may not be included in the promotion, as well as instructions for consumption or references to the history or countries where Kratom is consumed. Regardless of how this information is presented, its content may be dangerous for consumers.
D) Last but not least, user reviews that are included as part of a sale or promotion must not contain information that could reasonably be interpreted as consumer-oriented.
E) don't forget the correct VAT rate either. Food is 15%, but kratom is not a food. That means 21%.
