Huge Crackdown On FDA Labeling Requirements Will Affect Millions of Listing in Amazon Catalog (!)
A Huge Crackdown On FDA Labeling Requirements Will Affect Millions of Listing in Amazon Catalog (!)
The following products will be affected:
- All food items
- All dietary supplement items
- All OTC medications
- All topical products
- All cosmetic products
This policy was barely enforced before. Now Amazon is starting to enforce this policy very aggressively.
The new automated AI tools have been implemented. As usual, there may be 30% to 40% of false positives as the new AI software is very buggy.
The crackdown is mostly targeting Amazon Selling Partners from South East Asia (excluding China, probably).
Many legitimate businesses will suffer including those who have their brands enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry.
As a result, millions of ASIN's may be removed permanently from Amazon Catalog.
The biggest ever cleansing of Amazon Catalog.

Legitimate businesses selling food in United States comply with US rules and regulation and will not suffer.
Those who do not play by the rules should get off the field.
Where did you get the 30 to 40% false positives?

I can see the bots gone wild now-
Oh, your selling an Orange colored laundry basket?
Suppressed, need FDA label for the Orange. Policy violation, metrics hit.
Selling Walnut wood stain? You know the drill.
But, but, Amazon, the item is not an Orange or a Walnut. You do not eat a laundry hamper or wood stain.
Reply from Amazon, Please edit listing to include FDA labeling requirements for this ASIN that you are not allowed to edit or provide FDA labeling waiver exempting this product from labeling requirements. We are here to help. We are best friends but we are going to hold your money for a little while until you say sorry for violating policy. Section 3, pesticide, contact UPS.
