Instantly check 9731+ ingredients against FDA MoCRA, EAFUS, GRAS, Prop 65, EU E-numbers, and NIH safety thresholds. Know what's prohibited, restricted, or flagged — before you sell food, supplements, or cosmetics in the U.S. or EU.
No forms. No waiting. Paste your ingredient list and get an instant report.
Copy your formula's ingredient list — comma-separated, one per line, or raw text. Our parser handles messy exports from any lab or supplier.
Every ingredient is matched against FDA MoCRA, EAFUS, GRAS, Prop 65, and EU E-number databases. See status, restrictions, and required actions in under a second.
Download a PDF compliance report for your records or regulators. Upgrade for bulk Excel/PDF uploads and more checks.
Built for cosmetic, food, and supplement manufacturers, formulators, and regulatory consultants selling in the U.S. and EU.
See US, EU, Japan, and Korea regulatory status side-by-side — across cosmetics, food, and supplements. Know if your ingredient is GRAS in the US but a Novel Food in the EU, or a cosmetic in one market but a drug in another.
Paste 50+ ingredients at once. Fuzzy matching catches spelling variations and common aliases.
Paid subscribers can isolate cosmetics, food, or supplement checks. Formulators don't need cross-category noise; you see only what applies to your product type.
Generate branded PDF compliance reports with your logo for regulators, clients, or internal QA.
Database updated from FDA sources. Stay informed when regulations change.
Every result includes exact 21 CFR sections, actual FDA Warning Letter references, and combination restrictions — cited directly from official sources, not generated text.
Get warned when an ingredient crosses from cosmetic to OTC drug, food additive to supplement, or GRAS to prohibited — by jurisdiction. Avoid misclassification before it hits your label.
Supplements are FDA's #1 enforcement target. Mislabeled ingredients, banned substances, illegal disease claims — we catch all three before they catch you.
Stevia is GRAS as a sweetener — not in drugs or infant formula. Wrong context = failed review.
"Supports blood sugar" is legal. "Lowers blood sugar" is a drug claim. One word = warning letter.
Ashwagandha is US-legal. EU needs Novel Food approval. Assume otherwise = blocked shipment.
1,000+ notices with GRN number and intended use. Use-specific — not a yes/no.
1,000+ chemicals with toxicity type. Mandatory for California sales.
84 flagged ingredients — DMAA, BMPEA, and more. Know before your product does.
Regulatory consultants charge $300–500/hour. A misclassified ingredient can create compliance risk, product recalls, and legal costs across cosmetics, food, and supplements. Our Starter tier helps you spot issues early — before they become expensive problems. This tool is for informational purposes; always verify with a qualified regulatory professional.
AI-generated compliance text cannot reliably reproduce exact CFR subsections. We cite real source documents: 21 CFR 700.11, 21 CFR 352.10, 21 CFR 333.301. When FDA audits your files, you need the exact subsection — traceable to its official source.
Ch*tGPT cannot reliably tell you the exact % where an ingredient flips from cosmetic to OTC drug. We do: Hydroquinone 2% = OTC drug vs cosmetic. Salicylic Acid 0.5–2% = OTC for acne. Miss the threshold, miss the market.
Ch*tGPT gets Japan/Korea/US/EU comparisons wrong constantly. Minoxidil: OTC drug in US, functional cosmetic in Korea, quasi-drug in Japan, medicinal product in EU. This is non-obvious. One wrong assumption = detained shipment.
We explain the intent-based classification: same ingredient, same concentration, but different claims = different regulatory path. This is lawyer-level nuance that LLMs struggle with. FDA does not care what the LLM "thinks."
Ch*tGPT answers in prose. Our structured database enables: batch checking 50+ ingredients, PDF export with exact citations, fuzzy matching across 1,000+ synonyms, filtering by restriction type / category / jurisdiction. Speed matters when a client is waiting.
Research backed by Semantic Scholar API — Burdock 2024 on MoCRA, Yoshitomi 2025 on JSQDI, Kojima 2021 on quasi-drug testing. When your legal team asks "where did this data come from," you have a real citation. Not a hallucinated "source."
Generic AI tools generate plausible-sounding answers from training data. We build reports from a structured, refreshable, source-backed database of regulatory rules, evidence, and enforcement history.
Every report separates regulatory text (21 CFR, EU Annexes, MHLW standards) from supporting evidence. You see the exact rule that applies, not a paraphrase.
Each ingredient links to its original source: FDA warning letters, SCCS opinions, enforcement events, adverse-event reports. You can verify every claim.
We track when each source was last refreshed. Stale data is flagged. You know whether you are looking at last week's enforcement letters or last year's.
Data is labeled Stable, Conditional, or Provisional so you know how much weight to give each finding. No hidden uncertainty.
Same ingredient, different rules by market. We normalize aliases so "glycerine" and "Glycerin" resolve to the same entry, then show U.S., EU, Japan, and Korea contexts.
Buy a report today, buy the same report next month after a source refresh. See what changed. This is planning support, not a one-off guess.
