1. "Food" means a food, food product, food ingredient, dietary ingredient, dietary supplement or beverage for human consumption;2. "Kratom leaf" means the leaf of the kratom plant, Mitragyna speciosa, in fresh or dehydrated or dried form that undergoes no post-harvest processing other than drying or size reduction by cutting, milling, or similar procedure, and may be cleaned or sterilized using standard treatments applied to food ingredients, such as heat, steam, pressurization, or irradiation or other standard treatments applied to food ingredients. The total alkaloid content of kratom leaf material used in the kratom product shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3.5%) measured on a dried weight-to-weight basis;3. "Kratom leaf extract" means the material obtained by extracting kratom using a solvent consisting of: a. water, ethanol, or food-grade carbon dioxide (CO2), orb. any other solvent allowed by federal or state regulation for use in manufacturing a food ingredient. The extracted material shall contain mitragynine as the most abundant alkaloid, measured on a weight-to-weight basis, and at a level that is equal to or exceeds twice that of any other alkaloid present. The ratio of mitragynine to other alkaloids in the extract shall be equal to or greater than the ratio found in the starting material;
4. "Kratom product" means a food or dietary supplement that consists of or contains kratom leaf or kratom leaf extract that does not contain any synthesized kratom alkaloids, other kratom constituents, or synthesized metabolites of any kratom constituent in which the level of 7-hydroxymitragynine, on a percent weight basis, is not greater than one percent (1%) of the amount of total kratom alkaloids, as confirmed with a high-performance liquid chromatography testing method. For purposes of this paragraph,"synthesized" refers to substances produced using directed synthetic or biosynthetic chemistry, as opposed to traditional food preparation techniques such as heating or extracting; 5. "Total kratom alkaloids" means the sum of mitragynine, speciociliatine, speciogynine, paynantheine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine; and6. "Vendor" means a person that sells, prepares or maintains kratom products or that advertises, represents or holds itself out as selling, preparing or maintaining kratom products and includes a manufacturer, wholesaler, store, restaurant, hotel, catering facility, camp, bakery, delicatessen, supermarket, grocery store, convenience store, nursing home or food or drink company.Okla.
