CLAIM RULINGS · FALSE REGULATORY

Can a supplement say “FDA registered”?

Only about the facility, never about the product. Facilities register with the FDA and products do not, so “manufactured in an FDA-registered facility” is accurate while calling the product FDA registered is misleading as written.

§ 01 · WHY IT FAILS

The rule this runs into

Facilities register; products do not. Misleading as written.

We file this under false regulatory and rate it high. It is enforced by FDA, FTC, which matters because a single phrase can fail in more than one place at once: a listing suppression, an ad-account review and a warning letter are three different consequences of the same sentence.

§ 02 · WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD

The compliant version

This is the rewrite an audit ships for this phrase, in the words we would hand you.

THE RULING’S OWN REWRITE

'Manufactured in an FDA-registered facility' - facility, not product.

CLAIMS THAT HOLD IN ITS PLACE
QUALITY
Manufactured in an FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facility

Facility-level and true. Never say the product is FDA-anything.

Every structure/function claim on this page still needs the FDA disclaimer wherever it appears. That requirement has its own ruling.
