Supplement Label Verification Worksheet: 12 Checks Before You Trust a Product Page

Online product pages can become outdated even when the physical label is correct. Use a repeatable verification worksheet before relying on a listing.

For the broader principles behind this worksheet, see the Supplement Label Transparency Guide.

12 Checks

1. Product name matches the package.
2. Serving size matches the Supplement Facts panel.
3. Servings per container match.
4. Active ingredient names match.
5. Amounts per serving match.
6. Ingredient forms match.
7. Other Ingredients match.
8. Directions match.
9. Warnings and allergen information are current.
10. Manufacturer or distributor information is consistent.
11. Testing and certification claims can be documented.
12. Images show the current label version.

When Something Conflicts

Do not guess which version is correct. Establish the current approved label or internal specification, then update every stale channel.

Bottom Line

Transparency depends on version control as much as on how much information is displayed.
