How It’s Used
The CFIA is most relevant to Canadian vendors, importers, and consumers who want to understand why kratom labeling in Canada looks different from what they see on US vendor sites. Border seizures of kratom shipments labeled as food products have occurred, and the CFIA is typically the agency involved.
If you are purchasing kratom in Canada, the CFIA’s role explains why vendors use particular labeling language and avoid food-related branding. It is part of the multi-layered regulatory picture that Canadian vendors navigate alongside Health Canada and the CDSA.
