Is Kratom Legal in Utah?

Yes, with limits. Since May 6, 2026, Utah allows only pure leaf kratom: plant matter or plain capsules with no extracts and 7-OH at or under 0.4% of total kratom alkaloids. Every product must be registered with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) with a third-party lab COA, buyers must be 21, and retail sales are limited to licensed retail tobacco specialty businesses. 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl are Schedule I outside that pure leaf exemption.

What changed recently

  1. The original Kratom Regulation Act took effect. Until May 2026, Utah law set an 18+ age and capped 7-OH at 2% of the alkaloid fraction.
  2. H.B. 301, the drug recodification bill, was signed. It renumbered the controlled substance schedules.
  3. H.B. 385 was signed, creating the UDAF specialized product retailer license and product list rules.
  4. S.B. 45, Kratom Adjustments, was signed.
  5. S.B. 45 took effect: pure leaf only, 21+, retail through tobacco specialty businesses only, and 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in Schedule I.
  6. The recodified controlled substance chapter took effect, along with other parts of the specialized product chapter.
  7. S.B. 101 changes take effect for product registration fees and information sharing with the State Tax Commission.
  8. The temporary exception for Utah processors making non-pure-leaf products for other states ends.

The Utah rules in detail

Only pure leaf kratom may be sold

Pure leaf kratom means identifiable plant matter, or plant matter in an inert food- or pharmaceutical-grade capsule. It may not contain a kratom extract or any non-kratom substance, and 7-OH may not exceed 0.4% of the total kratom alkaloid composition. Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl must not be present.

UDAF lists the allowed forms as raw leaf, tea bags and loose tea, prepackaged powder, pressed powder tablets and powder capsules. Candy-like products and anything that appeals to under-21s are barred. The research could not confirm whether the extract ban reaches standardized leaf powders or only concentrates.

7-OH is a Schedule I drug outside the exemption

S.B. 45 placed 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, including synthetic versions, in Utah’s Schedule I. Only pure leaf kratom that complies with the Kratom Regulation Act is exempt from controlled substance penalties for its 7-OH content. Any 7-OH concentrate, extract or enhanced product is illegal.

Who may sell, and the 21 age limit

No one may sell, distribute or offer kratom to anyone under 21. Retail sales are limited to retail tobacco specialty businesses that hold a local license and a UDAF specialized products retail license for each location. UDAF treats an online website as a separate location that needs its own permit.

The statute lists a $600 fee for a kratom retailer license and $2,500 for a retail tobacco specialty business. UDAF’s page lists $100 for the kratom retailer scope, so sources conflict on that fee. Retailers must also file a product list with UDAF 7 days before selling a new product.

Processors located in Utah need a Specialized Products Processor License (UDAF lists Tier 1 at $2,500 and Tier 2 at $2,000) plus a manufactured food establishment registration.

Product registration and lab testing

Every uniquely labeled kratom product sold in Utah, including online, must be registered with UDAF. The fee is $475 per product per fiscal year, registrations expire June 30, and renewals open May 1. The application needs label images and a COA.

The COA must come from a third-party ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab, or one following OECD GLP while it pursues accreditation. Testing must be on finished product in final packaging within 6 months before registration. Required tests cover mitragynine and 7-OH, absence of mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, foreign matter, microbes, heavy metals, mycotoxins and pesticides. Our guide on how to read a kratom lab report walks through these panels.

Label rules

The statute requires the package label to state the amounts of mitragynine and 7-OH and the factual basis for calling the product kratom. UDAF’s labeling rule, as summarized on its site, adds a batch or lot number that matches the COA, serving size as a whole number, recommended daily intake, the maker, packer or distributor name and address, and the FDA disclaimer.

Labels may not make disease claims, use cartoon or fictional characters, imitate products that appeal to under-21s, or include liability disclaimers.

Out-of-state processing exception

Until March 6, 2027, a processor may handle non-pure-leaf products with 7-OH at or under 0.4% only if they are not offered for sale or distribution in Utah and are made for lawful sale in another state. That exception then ends.

Local rules inside Utah

We did not confirm any city or county kratom ordinances in Utah. That is not the same as there being none, so check the municipal and county code for every ship-to address.

Enforcement and penalties

UDAF’s Division of Specialized Products handles registration, licensing, testing, inspections, seizures and recalls, and it does random sampling. Local governments and health departments issue retail tobacco specialty business permits. Police and prosecutors handle criminal and controlled substance cases.

Under the statute, selling a product that is not pure leaf or lacks the alkaloid label is a class B misdemeanor for a first violation, a class A misdemeanor for a second and a third degree felony after that. Each sale to someone under 21 is a class A misdemeanor. Selling unregistered product or as an unregistered seller can bring an administrative fine up to $5,000, and selling without a specialized product license can bring a $50,000 civil fine. 7-OH outside the exemption falls under Controlled Substances Act penalties, which the research did not compile, so ask Utah counsel.

Federal context

Federal rules sit on top of state law. As of the sources we reviewed on October 18, 2026, DEA had temporarily scheduled mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15 and MGM-16 (effective August 26, 2026). On October 14, 2026 it published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-OH and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above a threshold (more than 1 mg per gram or per mL, or less than 100 times as much mitragynine as 7-OH); that order cannot take effect before about November 13, 2026. DEA has said its action does not override stricter state law. Check the Federal Register for anything newer, and see our overview of kratom laws for sellers for the federal background.

Wholesale buyer checklist for Utah

  1. Confirm each SKU is pure leaf: plant matter or a plain capsule, with no extract and no added substances.
  2. Get a COA from an ISO/IEC 17025 lab on finished, packaged product showing 7-OH at or under 0.4% and no mitragynine pseudoindoxyl.
  3. Register every uniquely labeled product with UDAF before it is sold in Utah, and renew by June 30.
  4. Sell only to retail accounts that hold a retail tobacco specialty business license and a UDAF retail license, and keep copies.
  5. Put a batch number matching the COA and the mitragynine and 7-OH amounts on every label.
  6. Drop any extract, 7-OH concentrate, enhanced, or candy-like product from Utah orders.
  7. Ask UDAF or counsel whether your out-of-state operation needs a Utah processor license.
