FDA Issues Guidelines for Advertising
Posted on 2026-05-22 18:47:33
The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on deceptive food
advertisements by introducing strict new guidelines for businesses and online
influencers.

The FDA released its guidelines earlier this week and announced today that
businesses using puns, misspelled words, or metaphors to imply that their
food products have medical benefits can face fines of up to $5 million NT.

Under the new rules, any promotion that encourages a purchase is considered
an advertisement.

This includes paid sponsorships or product reviews shared by internet
influencers.

And officials warn that even if an ad avoids mentioning a specific disease,
it can still be ruled illegal if a consumer is led to believe the food has
medical properties.
