Mississippi Kratom Consumer Protection Act; enact.
SB 2738, the Mississippi Kratom Consumer Protection Act, regulates kratom products sold in Mississippi by prohibiting specific unsafe practices. It bans processors and retailers from selling kratom products adulterated with dangerous substances, contaminated with harmful ingredients, containing over 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine, synthetic alkaloids, or lacking proper labeling (including serving size). The law also prohibits sales to anyone under 21 years old. Violations carry fines up to $5,000 for repeat offenses, enforced by the Mississippi Department of Health starting July 1, 2025. This directly affects businesses selling kratom (processors and retailers) and ensures safer consumer access through defined product standards.
