Lobelia Herb (Lobelia inflata) consists of dried, cut leaves with a natural green colour and a typical botanical appearance. The leaf material has a cut size of approximately 4–10 mm, providing a natural plant texture suitable for applications that require botanical raw material. This botanical is often used in formulations where plant matter is desired for its structure, appearance, and characteristic profile. The cut size and natural form allow it to be incorporated into a range of non-ingestible uses. Lobelia Herb is supplied as a botanical ingredient only and is intended for general formulation or craft purposes. This product has been considered a novel food by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), with guidance from the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods (ACNF). In addition, products containing novel food ingredients are treated as taxable supplies, meaning GST is applied in accordance with guidelines from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
