Dietary Supplement Labelling Compliance

Supplement Facts Panel Creation & Verification

The Supplement Facts panel is a critical part of supplement labelling, so we check serving sizes, nutrient amounts and daily values for accuracy and format.

  • Creation of FDA-compliant Supplement Facts panels
  • Serving size validation and daily value percentage checks
  • Compliance with font, size, and formatting requirements

Ingredient List & Allergen Declaration Review

The FDA requires accurate ingredient lists and allergen declarations on dietary supplements, and we review both on your labels.

  • Ingredient list review for proper naming and descending order by weight
  • Verification of allergen declarations for the major food allergens
  • Allergen labelling checks against the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)

Structure-Function & Health Claims Compliance

Structure-function claims describe how a product supports normal body functions, and the FDA regulates them to prevent misbranding.

  • Review of structure-function claims for regulatory compliance
  • Substantiation requirements for health claims
  • Assessment of permissible vs. restricted claims

Warning Statements & Required Disclaimers

Some supplements need FDA-mandated warnings based on intended use, ingredient risks or health concerns, and we check that required warnings and disclaimers are included.

  • Evaluation of ingredient safety profiles for required warnings
  • Proper use of FDA disclaimers for structure-function claims
  • Compliance with state-specific warnings (e.g., California Prop 65)

International Labelling Compliance (UK & EU Markets)

Selling in the UK and EU means meeting Trading Standards and EU food supplement labelling rules, and we review your labels for those markets.

  • Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 labelling compliance for the EU
  • Allergen and nutrition information formatted for international standards
  • Translation and localisation services for non-US markets

Frequently asked questions

Dietary Supplement Labelling Compliance

Requirements vary by product and destination. These answers outline the starting point for the questions we receive most often.

Ask our team

What labeling elements are required for dietary supplements?

A dietary supplement label needs these core elements:

  • Statement of Identity (Product Name)
  • Net Quantity of Contents (weight or volume)
  • Supplement Facts panel
  • Ingredient list in descending order by weight
  • Name and place of business (manufacturer, packer, or distributor)
  • Allergen declarations per FALCPA regulations
  • Appropriate disclaimers for structure-function claims

What is a Supplement Facts panel?

A Supplement Facts panel provides information about:

  • Serving size and servings per container
  • List of dietary ingredients with quantities per serving
  • Percent Daily Values (%DV) based on FDA-established guidelines
  • We ensure your panel meets all formatting and content requirements.

Can I make health claims on dietary supplement labels?

Yes, but claims must be:

  • Substantiated with scientific evidence
  • Authorized by the FDA (e.g., “Calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis”)
  • Accompanied by the disclaimer: “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

What allergen declarations are required?

Under FALCPA, dietary supplements must declare the presence of:

  • Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame
  • We ensure proper allergen labeling to prevent regulatory action.

What happens if my labels don’t meet FDA standards?

Non-compliant labels can result in:

  • FDA import detentions and rejections
  • Product recalls and legal penalties
  • Increased regulatory scrutiny for future shipments
  • We provide pre-market label reviews to avoid these risks.
