What “FDA Registered Facility” Actually Means

“FDA registered” and “FDA approved” are not interchangeable phrases.

Facility registrationRegistration is not product approvalWhy this matters in advertising

Facility registration

Facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold dietary supplements for U.S. consumption may have registration obligations.

Registration is not product approval

FDA generally does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold in the way it approves prescription drugs.

Why this matters in advertising

Graphics or language implying FDA endorsement can mislead buyers. Look for precise wording rather than a badge.
