Why Label & Claims Compliance Matters
Mislabeling and unsubstantiated claims are among the most common enforcement risks under FIFRA.
Unapproved Claims
Making efficacy, safety, or environmental claims that are not supported by the EPA-approved label or adequate data can result in enforcement actions and product recalls.
Inconsistent Messaging
Discrepancies between your EPA label and marketing materials create regulatory exposure and undermine product credibility.
Outdated Labels
Failing to update labels when regulations change or new data emerges can lead to non-compliance and market access restrictions.
Our Compliance Review Process

Label & Claims Best Practices
Align Marketing with the Label
Every claim in your marketing materials—website, sales sheets, ads—must be directly supported by your EPA-approved label. If it's not on the label, don't claim it.
Document Everything
Maintain clear records of data supporting all efficacy and safety claims. This documentation is your defense in case of EPA inquiry or enforcement.
Review Regularly
Labels and claims compliance is not a one-time effort. Regular reviews ensure ongoing compliance as regulations evolve and your marketing adapts.
Educate Your Teams
Sales, marketing, and customer service teams must understand label limitations to avoid making unauthorized claims in communications.
