Before & after

Same product. Same selling point. Less risk.

Say a food treats, prevents or cures a disease and FDA can treat it as a drug. A disclaimer doesn't fix that.

Potassium-rich juice

Lowers blood pressure

A naturally rich source of potassium, part of a heart-healthy diet.

Elderberry gummy

Prevents colds and flu

Elderberry and vitamin C to support normal immune function.*

Turmeric capsule

Relieves arthritis pain and inflammation

Turmeric to support healthy joints.*

* On a supplement, a structure/function claim needs the standard FDA disclaimer on the label and a notification to FDA within 30 days of marketing (21 CFR 101.93).

    Scope

    I'm a scientist, not a lawyer. I write and check the science; for final label copy I recommend a quick review by a US food-law attorney.
