Food Claims Compliance Analyzer
Evaluate food claims against FDA, FTC, and state regulations for compliance risk
What You Can Do
You can submit marketing copy, label claims, or advertising language and receive a structured compliance assessment that maps claims against FDA/FTC guidance, state regulations, and case law. The skill identifies claim type (health claim, structure-function claim, comparative claim, etc.), flags regulatory risks across jurisdictions, assesses substantiation strength, and recommends revisions to reduce enforcement exposure. This accelerates claim review workflows and prevents costly post-launch violations.
Features
Categorizes explicit health claims, implied disease claims, structure-function claims, and comparative claims to determine applicable regulatory standards
Cross-references FDA, FTC, and state-specific guidance (California, New York, etc.) to identify all applicable compliance requirements
Evaluates whether supporting scientific evidence meets the 'competent and reliable' standard for the claim type and strength
Flags high-risk claims that pass one regulator but violate another, plus state-specific restrictions
Analyzes third-party claims, influencer partnerships, and user testimonials against FTC Endorsement Guides
Provides specific reworded claim language to maintain marketing intent while reducing compliance risk
Identifies claims requiring FDA pre-notification or investigational review before product launch
Assesses superiority claims and head-to-head comparisons for substantiation gaps and deceptive practice exposure
Example Output
Input: "Our new probiotic yogurt clinically proven to boost immune function and reduce cold duration by 40%"
Output:
- Claim Type: Explicit disease risk reduction claim (FDA Category A)
- Regulatory Status: HIGH RISK — Triggers FDA pre-notification requirement; lacks adequate substantiation for "reduce cold duration" quantified claim
- Substantiation Gap: Single human study required minimum; RCT with n≥200 preferred for quantified benefit claim
- FTC Risk: Unsubstantiated superiority claim; 40% reduction claim requires competent and reliable evidence
- State Compliance: California Prop 65 risk if ingredient contains listed chemical without warning
- Revised Claim: "Supports digestive and immune health with live active cultures" (structure-function, lower regulatory burden)
Input: "Endorsed by 50,000+ nutritionists (based on social media followers)"
Output:
- Claim Type: Third-party endorsement with implied expert status
- FTC Endorsement Guide Violation: Social media follower count does not establish expert qualifications or actual product experience
- Risk Level: MODERATE — FTC action precedent for false expertise claims
- Revision: "Trusted by nutritionists and health professionals" (removes unsubstantiated quantifier; requires disclosure of affiliate relationships if sponsored)
- Required Disclosures: All influencer partnerships must include #ad or "Sponsored" if material connection exists
What's Included
