## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

Check **supplement, skincare and beauty product copy** for claims that draw **FDA warning letters, FTC action and marketplace takedowns**. The **Supplement & Cosmetic Claims Checker** reads product titles, descriptions and bullets and flags **disease claims**, **cosmetic claims that FDA treats as drug claims** (regrows hair, boosts collagen, removes cellulite), **OTC drug claims** (SPF, acne, dandruff), **"FDA approved"**, **weight-loss promises**, **"clinically proven"** and other wording that needs proof, and **supplement structure/function claims without the required FDA disclaimer**. Each finding shows the exact words, a severity, the FDA or FTC source and a note on what to check. Click **Start** with the prefilled example to see it work.

> This is an automated text pre-check, not legal or regulatory advice and not an FDA or FTC decision. A clean result doesn't mean claims are lawful, substantiated or approved; every row carries this disclaimer.

### What does Supplement & Cosmetic Claims Checker do?

- ✅ **Disease claims**: says the product cures, treats, prevents or relieves a disease (cancer, diabetes, arthritis, flu, cold sores, acne and about 50 others), the line between a structure/function claim and a drug claim under 21 CFR 101.93. Pet "treats" and epoxy "cure time" are ignored.
- ✅ **Drug-substitute claims**: "natural alternative to Xanax", "replaces your statin", "works like Ozempic".
- ✅ **Cosmetic-vs-drug claims** (cosmetics only): regrows hair, stops hair loss, boosts collagen, repairs cells, removes cellulite, relieves pain. "Reduces the appearance of fine lines" and other look-and-feel wording isn't flagged.
- ✅ **OTC drug claims** (cosmetics only): SPF and broad spectrum, anti-dandruff, acne treatment, antiperspirant, fluoride. These need an OTC drug label; it's a flag to check, not a ban.
- ✅ **FDA wording**: "FDA approved" (FDA doesn't approve supplements or cosmetics), "FDA registered" or "FDA certified" facility wording, COVID-19 claims. "FDA-approved color additives" is allowed.
- ✅ **Weight-loss claims** from the FTC Gut Check list: lose X pounds in Y days, without diet or exercise, melts fat, works overnight.
- ✅ **Proof and safety wording**: clinically proven, doctor recommended, no side effects, 100% safe, prescription strength, medical grade (medical-grade silicone is ignored), hypoallergenic, non-toxic.
- ✅ **Supplement disclaimer check**: lists each structure/function claim (supports immune health, promotes restful sleep) and flags supplements that make them without the FDA disclaimer.
- ✅ Output per product: `productType` (detected or given), `riskLevel`, `issueCount`, `categoriesFlagged`, `issues` (`ruleId`, `severity`, `field`, `quote`, `context`, `policyUrl`, `fixHint`), `structureFunctionClaims`, `fdaDisclaimerFound`, `notes`, `checkedAt` and a disclaimer.

### Who is it for?

- **Supplement and beauty brands** checking product pages, Amazon, Walmart or TikTok Shop listings before launch.
- **Agencies, copywriters and marketplace managers** who write health and beauty copy for many brands.
- **Marketplace and affiliate teams** screening third-party product catalogs in bulk.
- **Compliance and regulatory teams** who want a first-pass triage before legal review.

### How to check supplement and cosmetic claims

1. Click **Start** with the prefilled example (a supplement and a hair serum with risky claims, and a clean moisturizer).
2. Replace the example with your products: `title`, `text` (description or claims) and optionally `bullets`, `productType` and `id`. Or paste plain text into **Texts only**.
3. Or enter a **Dataset ID** from an Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Sephora or iHerb scraper, or your catalog export. Use **Field map** for unusual field names.
4. Set **Product type** if all items are the same type; otherwise it's detected from the words (title counts double).
5. Turn on **Only save products with possible issues** for big catalogs; you only pay for saved rows.

### How much does it cost to check product claims?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: **$0.005 per product saved** plus a **$0.00005 start fee per run**, plus small platform usage paid by you (a few hundredths of a cent for small runs). That's about **$0.50 for 100 products** and **$5 for 1,000 products** plus usage. With **Only save products with possible issues** on, clean products aren't saved or charged. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

### Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

- Run it and get results in one call: `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ultimatemc~supplement-cosmetic-claims-checker/run-sync-get-dataset-items`
- Use it from AI agents through the Apify MCP server: `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ultimatemc/supplement-cosmetic-claims-checker`
- Schedule it to recheck your catalog after copy changes, send results with webhooks, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets.
- Chain it after a product scraper by passing the scraper's dataset ID.

### How it works

Rules are deterministic text patterns written from public FDA and FTC guidance and federal regulations, checked on 2026-10-29. No AI and no outside calls are used, so the same text always gives the same result. Some rules only apply to some product types: cosmetic-vs-drug and OTC rules run on cosmetics and "other", and the disclaimer check runs on supplements. Severity means: **high**, wording regulators commonly cite as a drug or disease claim; **medium**, wording that needs proof, a disclaimer or a specific label; **low**, a weak signal or a guideline.

### FAQ

#### Does a clean result mean my claims are legal?

No. It means none of these text rules matched. Regulators also look at images, packaging, ingredients, the evidence behind claims and overall impression.

#### Is it AI?

No. It's a fixed rule set, so results are repeatable and explainable, and runs are fast and cheap.

#### My supplement has the FDA disclaimer. Why are other claims still flagged?

The disclaimer covers structure/function claims only. Disease, drug-substitute, weight-loss and "FDA approved" claims aren't fixed by it.

#### How is the product type detected?

From keywords such as capsules, gummies, supplement facts (supplement), serum, cream, shampoo (cosmetic) or snack, tea, bar (food), with the title counted double. Set `productType` per item or for the whole run to override it.

#### Which countries does it cover?

US FDA and FTC rules. EU, UK, Canada and Australia use different claim rules; many flagged phrases are also risky there, but the sources and limits differ.

### Limitations

- Text only: it doesn't read labels, images, videos or ingredient lists.
- It can't check whether a claim is substantiated, whether a structure/function claim was notified to FDA, or whether a product holds an OTC monograph or NDA.
- Implied claims (a before/after photo, a product name like "FluAway") are only caught when the words match a rule.
- English text only. Rules reflect public guidance as of 2026-10-29.
- Product type detection is keyword-based and can be wrong for mixed products; set it explicitly when it matters.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ultimatemc/supplement-cosmetic-claims-checker"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
