What is US FDA Certification?

Any beverage container with a nutrition or health claim must be FDA-certified, according to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). According to the FDCA, if you market your beverage in the United States, regardless of where it is produced, you may be held liable for ensuring that your label claims are accurate and not deceptive. If the FDA finds your claim to be “false and deceptive,” it can require you to stop selling the product with such labeling and, in rare situations, even seek criminal prosecution. That’s why IAS created a US FDA certification program to help beverage manufacturers get their products on store shelves across the country without violating federal false claims laws. When compared to tackling it alone, our US FDA certification procedure helps you get your product to market faster and with less legal risk. Regardless of whether a product’s label makes a nutrition or health claim, the producer is responsible for ensuring that its food items comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Working with the FDA on its nutrition claim review and approval process is one of the finest ways for quickly getting a product to market because the FDA is largely responsible for regulating food labeling.
