FTC CONCERNS?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has disciplined many nutritional companies for non-compliant health claims in their advertising and marketing practices, including some very well known Fortune 500 corporations. Some have been severely fined for not being compliant with national guidelines, and some have been shut down for not complying with current laws and regulations. QVC/The Home Shopping Channel was reprimanded by the FTC for non-compliant health claims. Even the largest health food store chain in the world (located in 6,000 malls nationwide) was fined millions of dollars for non-compliant health claims. There are currently lawyers, organizations, scientists, renowned doctors and congressmen lobbying against the government’s tight reins. However, until these laws and regulations are changed, Chews-4-Health Inc. has made it a top priority to comply with FTC guidelines and therefore, we have chosen one of the very best FTC law firms from Washington, D.C. to review our product claims, labels, brochures and marketing materials (www.emord.com). Jonathon Emord & Associates will continue to assist us in doing our very best in achieving FTC compliance.
FDA CONCERNS?
Government agencies, including the FDA do not approve any dietary supplements. The FDA does however, have manufacturing guidelines pertaining to quality standards and labeling laws. Manufacturing facilities are subject to FDA inspection to regulate and ensure that Guidelines (General Manufacturing Practices- GMPs) are being followed. Chews-4-Health’s manufacturer has earned an “A” rating from the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certification Program. This prestigious certification and GMP standing assures Chews-4-Health Inc.’s commitment to bring you the highest quality ingredients and the most stringent standards in the industry. Our manufacturer also has an in-house legal team and quality control department that inspects all packaging, labels, content and claims.
