Structure-Function Claims vs. Disease Treatment Warnings
The most common pitfall in supplement labeling is confusing structure-function claims with disease treatment warnings. In the US and Europe, the line between describing normal structure or function and claiming to treat a disease determines whether a label stays compliant in its target market.
Beyond claim wording, active ingredient callouts, allergen disclosures, and daily value percentage formatting must all be correct before mass printing: a single error can force label rework and distribution delays for export shipments.
How Our In-House Regulatory Team Audits Labels
Our in-house regulatory team audits active ingredient callouts, allergen disclosures, and daily value percentage formatting before mass printing:
- Claim Language: structure-function claim wording vs. disease treatment warnings for the US and EU frameworks.
- Active Ingredient Callouts: declared active ingredients and their amounts on the Supplement Facts / Nutrition panel.
- Allergen Disclosures: mandatory allergen statements for every ingredient in the formula.
- Daily Value Percentage Formatting: correct %DV presentation and rounding rules.
