FDA Claim Wording Checker
Find FDA approved, cleared and registered wording in product copy. Review the terminology and linked guidance before publishing. This browser-only checker does not establish a product’s FDA status.
Check scope: FDA approved, cleared, registered and similar regulator wording, plus certification marks. Checks wording, not facts. This does not decide FDA status and is not legal or regulatory advice.
About this check and its limits
Listing text sometimes says a product is FDA approved, FDA cleared or FDA registered. Paste the text to flag that wording. Checks wording, not facts. The scan does not decide whether any approval, clearance or registration exists, and it is not legal or regulatory advice. CopyForge is not affiliated with the FDA.
How registration, clearance and approval differ is explained in registration, clearance and approval.
What this checker inspects
- FDA approved, FDA cleared, and “approved by the FDA”
- FDA registered, including “FDA registered facility”
- FDA tested, FDA certified and FDA endorsed
- Certification marks such as organic, certified, lab-tested and BPA-free
What it cannot do
- Whether an approval, clearance, registration or certificate exists or matches this product
- Legal or regulatory advice, and any decision that a product is or is not FDA approved
- Images, packaging and an FDA logo
- Disease, treatment and weight-loss wording, which has its own checker
Examples: risks, facts and next steps
These illustrations use the example facts shown. Replace them with your own supported facts before publishing; a rewrite does not establish compliance.
Example facts: Stainless steel bottle with a screw cap. No FDA record is supplied.
“FDA approved stainless bottle.”
Why it is risky: “FDA approved” states a regulator action. This checker flags the wording. It does not decide whether any approval exists.
Draft from these facts: Stainless steel bottle with a screw cap.
Example facts: Facial brush with a rechargeable handle. No clearance record is supplied.
“FDA cleared facial brush for home use.”
Why it is risky: “FDA cleared” names a clearance pathway. Clearance, registration and approval are different, and the wording alone establishes none of them.
Draft from these facts: Facial brush with a rechargeable handle.
Example facts: Cotton rounds in a box. No facility registration and no organic certificate are supplied.
“Made in an FDA registered facility. USDA organic cotton.”
Why it is risky: “FDA registered” is easy to read as an endorsement, and “organic” says a certificate exists. Registration is not approval. The scan cannot open either record.
Draft from these facts: Cotton rounds in a box.
Frequently asked questions
- What wording does this checker flag?
- Regulator phrases such as FDA approved, FDA cleared, FDA registered, FDA tested, FDA certified, FDA endorsed, and “approved by the FDA”, plus certification marks such as organic or lab-tested. Each match is a review signal.
- Does a match mean the product is not FDA approved?
- No. A match means the wording reads like a regulator status. This checker does not decide whether a product is approved, cleared or registered, and it does not confirm that status either way.
- Why is “FDA registered facility” flagged?
- Registration is not product approval, and the phrase is easy to read as an endorsement. The checker still flags it, with guidance that names that difference. The scan does not choose which status applies.
- Is CopyForge affiliated with the FDA?
- No. This is an independent wording check. It is not legal or regulatory advice, and it is not a finding from the FDA. A clear result means no configured signals, not permission to publish.
Limitations
- Checks wording, not facts.
