Resources Mentioned:
US Food and Drug Administration mandatory recall of herbal supplements with
Katom that could be tainted with Salmonella.
There is also a Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety
Alerts FDA recall page that list the most
recent product recalls with the names of the vendor so you can
check out if there is a possibility of concern.
The publication Food Safety News has a write up
of the recall effort; there is more than one article More Kratom Capsules Recalled for
Salmonella Amid Outbreak gives some of the alternate names of
the herb and what the packages look like.
KratomIQ is a informational site that
provides basic information about Krantom, the benefits and
potential for abuse by users and by some vendors of the
product.
I am suggesting it as a place to read about positive and
potentially negative information about the supplement. Be aware
that the site does have affiliate relationships with some vendors.
