Test Results Explained

What Are The Testing Limits For Kratom?

At Taunton Bay, we test our kratom products to keep consumers informed, safe, & confident in what they buy. There are currently no specific contaminant limits set for kratom, as it is not approved by any regulatory organization recognized in the U.S. – however – we follow similar guidelines imposed upon foods & dietary supplements to determine if our products are able to be sold.

We currently test every 3 boxes per product received in each batch & hold additional samples from each batch of product prepared for future packaging – in case of things such as reported complaints later down the road or a need for retesting, for example. Our test results are posted to the website by our webmaster once she receives new results for our products.

What happens to products that exceed those limits?

If they are above those limits, they are recorded & either sent back to our suppliers for a new batch or disposed of – but not wasted! We like to use some of our discarded kratom as compost in our flower gardens in the shop’s yard & our flower pots in the building!
