FDA Labeling Requirements
Strict regulations for labeling food, cosmetics, and medical devices, ensuring that consumers receive accurate information about ingredients, safety, and manufacturer details.
Compliance is Not Optional
If you sell food, supplements, or cosmetics on Amazon, your labels must comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards. This includes specific font sizes for "Nutrition Facts" or "Supplement Facts" and the clear listing of allergens. Failure to comply can lead to product recalls and your seller account being permanently banned.
Small Labels, Big Problems
The biggest challenge with FDA compliance is fitting all the required legal text onto a small product. You often need to include the "Net Weight," "Distributed by," and "Warning" statements alongside your FNSKU barcode. This is where a high-resolution label editor becomes an essential tool for e-commerce compliance.
- Font size requirements for mandatory information.
- Placement of the "Statement of Identity" on the front panel.
- Accurate ingredient and allergen listings.
