Food and dietary supplement labels typically require a principal display panel and an information panel. Core elements may include the statement of identity, net quantity of contents, Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts, ingredient list, allergen declarations, and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
Dietary supplement labels should accurately identify dietary ingredients, serving size, amounts per serving, and percent Daily Value when established. Other ingredients should be listed separately, and proprietary blends must follow applicable presentation rules.
Claims require careful review. Nutrient-content claims, health claims, and structure/function claims have different legal standards. A dietary supplement structure/function claim generally needs the required disclaimer and notification process, and it must not imply disease treatment or prevention.
Label review should include the complete package and all sales content—not only the physical bottle—because websites, marketplace listings, inserts, and social-media claims may also be considered labeling or advertising.
APEX CS practical takeaway: Confirm the product-specific regulatory pathway before production, testing, labeling, or shipment. Requirements vary by device design, intended use, claims, market channel, and final configuration.
