California Kratom Legal Status Update
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are actively enforcing the removal of kratom-containing food and dietary supplements from stores, declaring them adulterated under federal and state law and illegal to sell for consumption.
Official California state government press release from January 2026 details active enforcement against kratom products sold as food or dietary supplements, citing federal and state adulteration laws. This signifies a restriction on sales channels and product forms, moving the status from generally 'LEGAL' to 'RESTRICTED' regarding its commercial availability for consumption.
