An extract is named as a dietary ingredient category. And extraction is what the alteration test is about.

Extracts are a listed category

The ingredient categories in the definition include a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or combination of the other listed ingredients. So an extract of a botanical is the kind of thing covered.

Which does not settle the 1994 question

The first route around the new dietary ingredient gate requires a form in which the food has not been chemically altered. Extraction is precisely what that phrase is about.

So the traditional preparation and the extract may differ

A plant consumed one way before 1994 and sold as a concentrated extract now are not obviously the same ingredient. That is the determination, and it is not made here.

From a container point of view an extract is a liquid or a powder

And they want different things. A tincture wants a narrow neck and a dropper; a spray-dried extract wants a wide mouth and a dry seal.

This shelf is built for the powder

78 jars out of 97 with wide necks, against 6 bottles. A liquid extract is poorly served here and the tinctures group is a different archetype.

Light is the extract-specific risk

A concentrated botanical is more sensitive to light than the raw plant, and the archetype flags this group light sensitive. 8 amber and 4 frosted containers out of 97 is a narrow protective set.

Headspace matters more than for a powder

A small quantity of a valuable extract in a large jar sits over a large volume of air. The concentrates property covers that in detail.

And the economics are different

An extract is sold in small quantities at higher value, so a 30 cent jar is a trivial share of the cost and getting it wrong is not.

Three containers at 30 mL is the small end

Which is the smallest size on this shelf. For a concentrated extract that is often still too large.

The legal question stays where it was

Per ingredient, against the date, from records. The container decisions above can all be made without touching it.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. This group returns 357 rows: 97 containers and 260 closures, the same rows the edibles and concentrates and flower groups return, because the packaging archetype is assigned at the spoke level and all three spokes resolve to the same one. The full inventory is enumerated in the edibles property. In outline: 30 to 473 mL with a median of 177, nothing below 30; 66 PP and 31 glass; 78 jars, 12 tubs and pails, 6 bottles, 1 tube; necks mostly 89-400 and 70-400.

Written from 21 U.S.C. 321(ff) and 21 U.S.C. 350b and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Nothing here says whether any particular botanical is a lawful dietary ingredient, a new dietary ingredient or saleable: those are per-ingredient determinations, federal agencies have taken positions on several of these which this property does not summarize, and state law differs. Availability and stock figures are a single snapshot rather than a trend. The shipping weight field on this shelf reaches 2,002 lb, which is a case weight in a unit field, so do not rely on it.
