requirements met
The rules that did not apply to this product were set aside. A potential risk is something on the label that conflicts with a rule; a point to verify is a requirement the label alone cannot settle.
The label is a demo made for illustration. The brand is RegaaS's own, and the business details and numbers printed on it are placeholders, which the review flagged as finding 4.
The marked-up label
Numbered boxes show where each potential risk appears on the artwork. The numbers match the findings below.

Recycling claim does not clearly indicate the applicable object
The word RECYCLE and the Mobius loop symbol do not state whether they apply to the packaging bag or specific components, making it impossible for consumers to determine the scope.
Before: on the label
The label shows “AND RECYCLE, THANK YOU” and a green Möbius loop symbol
The label shows “BE KIND TO OUR PLANET AND RECYCLE, THANK YOU” and a green Möbius loop symbol
After: the change to make
Add an explicit note on the applicable component next to the recycling symbol (e.g., “This pouch is recyclable”).

Points to verify on your file
Some requirements depend on the recipe, the print file or documents that are not on the label. The report lists them as checks to make. A few from this run:
CFR Title 19 Part 134 - Country of Origin Marking p. 4
If this product is an imported good, the country of origin should be conspicuously marked in clear English on the outer packaging (e.g., “Product of [Country Name]” or “Made in [Country Name]”) - in compliance with 19 CFR Part 134 regulations.
CFR Title 19 Part 134 - Country of Origin Marking p. 5
If the product is an imported good, please declare phrases such as “Product of [Country Name]” or “Made in [Country Name]” immediately adjacent to the U.S. address - complying with the country of origin proximity marking regulations of 19 CFR Part 134.
Health Products Compliance Guidance p. 6
Confirm that all marketing copy and claims are supported by sufficient scientific substantiation documents to avoid making explicit or implied efficacy claims lacking evidentiary support.
CFR Title 21 Subchapter B - Food for Human Consumption (a) p. 111
Check the packaging print master - Confirm that compliant heavy bars are drawn beneath Servings Per Container, beneath Monounsaturated Fat, and beneath Saw Palmetto Extract.
CFR Title 21 Subchapter B - Food for Human Consumption (a) p. 111
Check the packaging print manuscript - Confirm that there is a light bar directly beneath the column headings “Amount Per Serving” and “% Daily Value”.

Confirm the lot number marking on the label - Verify that the code printed on the product packaging clearly corresponds to internal batch manufacturing records (e.g., labeled as Lot #) to comply with cGMP regulations.
How this report was produced
- Two images of the label were uploaded, the front and the back, as one review. A review takes PNG or JPG images: up to 6 per review and 50 MB in total. PDF files cannot be uploaded yet.
- The market chosen was the United States, for food. Each review checks one market.
- The findings are the review's own words, unchanged. Only the rule references were tidied for reading and the photos cropped to the label. The boxes on the label were drawn by RegaaS's label annotation, run again on the same findings on November 10, 2026.
- A report is a documented review against the rules RegaaS applies. It is not legal advice and does not guarantee regulatory approval.
