FDA Recalls Unlabeled Green Malay Kratom Bulk Product

The FDA is recalling 77 kg of unlabeled Green Malay Kratom bulk product in 1-gallon jugs due to the presence of Kratom.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as an FDA Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is the presence of Kratom in an unlabeled product, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity rating involving labeling or low-risk contamination issues without reported harm.
